Secure Your Business Legacy: Don't Leave It in Limbo Without a Will

 



YOU DID WORK HARD TO BUILD YOUR BUSINESS

You've put a lot of effort into starting your firm from scratch. You've worked incredibly hard, given much, and dedicated your heart and soul to starting a successful business. But have you made the required preparations to guarantee that your company heritage will be safeguarded after your passing?




CREATE A WILL AND REMEMBER, A VALID WILL

Making a Last Will and Testament is among the most crucial things you can do to protect your company's assets. A will is a legal document that specifies how your property, including any business interests you may have, should be divided in the event of your passing. But if you are unfamiliar with the legal jargon and regulations, drafting a will that protects your company can be a difficult and perplexing process.

TIPS & GUIDELINES

We've gathered some pointers and recommendations for creating a Will that takes your company assets into account to assist you in getting started: 1. Create a list of all the business assets you hold, including any stocks, shares, or partnerships,     before you begin preparing your will. It's crucial to indicate who and how much of these            assets you want to be left to each beneficiary. 2.   Selecting an Executor is important since this individual will be in charge of carrying out         the directions in your Will. They'll be in charge of running your company's operations,             taking care of any debts or taxes due, and transferring your assets to the beneficiaries you specify. Select a person who is dependable, trustworthy, and informed about your business activities.

3.    Consult a will attorney: creating a will is a complicated process, and mistakes can have significant repercussions. If you want assistance navigating the legal procedures and making sure your Will is valid and enforceable, think about contacting a will lawyer.

4.    check and update your will frequently. Since your business interests may change over time, it's crucial to check and update your will frequently. By doing this, you can make sure that your will appropriately reflects your intentions and that your company's legacy is safeguarded.

5.    Think about establishing a Trust: A trust is a type of legal agreement that can shield your company's assets from lawsuits and creditors. Additionally, a trust can protect your corporate interests while providing for your loved ones.


In conclusion, making a Will that protects your company's assets is a crucial step in preserving your company's legacy. You may make sure that your business interests are safeguarded and that your wishes are followed out after your passing by heeding their advice and recommendations.

I merely shared a defamatory statement made by someone else, am i liable for Defamation?

Image
 WELL YES! A republication of a defamatory statement is also considered to be defamatory. In the case of YB Hj Khalid bin Abdul Samad v Datuk Aziz bin Isham & Anor [2012] 7 MLJ 301, the High Court quoted Gatley on Libel and Slander (8th Ed), at p 117 which states that "every republication of a libel is a new libel and each publisher is answerable for his act to the same extent as if the calumny originated with him". Accordingly, every repost or share of a defamatory statement is considered a new publication because those who do so are deemed to have approved, endorsed or repeated the same. This position was reiterated in the recent Court of Appeal case of Raja Syahrir bin Abu Bakar & Anor v Manjeet Singh Dhillon and other appeals [2019] MLJU 75. Therefore please be careful with what you share in social media as this can land you in very expensive litigation.

One question that frequently arises in legal discussions is whether Whatsapp messages can be utilized as evidence in court, even in debt recovery cases.
