Our Courses
Three courses,
each suited to where you are.
Whether you are just beginning to think about legacy or ready to address some of its more tender aspects, there is a course here that suits where you are now. There is no wrong starting point.
← Back to HomeHow We Teach
Our approach to financial education
Each course is built around a simple idea: that the people who most need good information about estate matters are not specialists, and should not have to become one before they can make sensible decisions. We write as though explaining things to a thoughtful friend over a long afternoon — clearly, without condescension, and with time for the important parts.
Written, not filmed
Course materials are readings — words on a page, printed or read on screen — because we believe careful reading allows for more genuine reflection than video lectures at a fixed speed.
Paced for real life
Weekly reading sets are designed to take an hour or less. There are no live sessions, no deadlines, and no penalties for taking longer than the suggested duration.
Practical at every stage
Each week's reading comes with something to use: a worksheet, a checklist, a template, a set of questions to sit with. Understanding without a next step is rarely enough on its own.
Course One · Introductory · 4 Weeks
Starting a Gentle Conversation About Legacy
A welcoming introduction for adults in their forties and beyond who have been meaning, for some time, to think carefully about what they would leave behind and how. The course walks slowly through the idea of a will in Singapore, the role of the executor, how intestacy works under the Intestate Succession Act for non-Muslims and under Muslim law where applicable, and why CPF, insurance, and joint-account nominations sit outside of a will.
Lessons are short, the tone is companionable, and the course repeatedly emphasises that there is no hurry. It is a first step, not an exhaustive study, and it is designed to leave the learner with a clearer sense of direction rather than a sense of urgency.
What this course covers
- What a will is, and what it does and does not cover in Singapore
- The role of the executor and how to think about choosing one
- How intestacy distributes assets under the Intestate Succession Act
- Muslim inheritance law and how it is administered in Singapore
- CPF nominations, insurance nominations, and joint accounts
- Why nominations and a will need to be considered together
Course materials
- Family inventory worksheet
- Conversation prompt booklet
- Reading list drawn from Public Trustee and MSF materials

SGD 199
Course Two · Intermediate · 8 Weeks
Drafting, Updating, and Storing Important Papers
A considered study of the documents that most households eventually need to put in order: a will, a Lasting Power of Attorney, an Advance Medical Directive, insurance and CPF nominations, and a simple personal records folder for a trusted family member. The course does not prepare legal documents for the learner. Instead, it explains what each paper does, what questions the learner should think through before seeing a lawyer, and how to store originals and copies safely.
It also covers respectful ways of telling close family where these papers are kept — a conversation that many households avoid until it is urgent, but which is significantly easier when approached at a calm moment.
What this course covers
- What a Lasting Power of Attorney covers, and how to choose donees thoughtfully
- Advance Medical Directives — what they do and how to make one
- How to review and update insurance and CPF nominations as life changes
- What a family records folder should contain and how to maintain it
- Preparing for a first meeting with a Singapore estate planning solicitor
- How to tell family members where important papers are kept
Course materials
- Comprehensive document checklist
- Family records folder template (printable)
- Step-by-step guide to preparing for a lawyer appointment
Course Fee
SGD 429
Course Three · Reflective · 10 Weeks
Holding Difficult Topics with Care
A reflective course for learners who feel ready to approach the more tender aspects of legacy: speaking with ageing parents, preparing adult children for responsibility, navigating blended families, planning for dependents with special needs under the Special Needs Trust Company (SNTC) framework, and thinking about end-of-life wishes without fear.
The course draws on counselling-informed frameworks for family conversations and includes references to mediation resources and community support services. No subject is treated as a project to be completed — each is offered as something the reader may return to over months and years.
What this course covers
- How to raise the subject of estate planning with an ageing parent without causing distress
- Preparing adult children to understand their roles and responsibilities
- Planning for dependents with special needs under Singapore's SNTC framework
- Navigating estate matters in blended and non-traditional family structures
- Thinking about end-of-life wishes — medical, practical, and personal
- Mediation and community support resources in Singapore
Course materials
- Family meeting agenda template
- Personal values worksheet with optional journal prompts
- Curated directory of pastoral, community, and clinical resources in Singapore
Course Fee
SGD 819

Our Standards
What applies across all three courses
Data Protection (PDPA)
Enrolment and enquiry data is held in compliance with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act and never shared with third parties.
Authored, Not Aggregated
Course materials are written by a single author with fifteen years of estate administration experience — not compiled from public summaries by a content team.
Annual Content Review
All materials are checked against current Singapore legislation each year and updated where rules have changed.
Educational, Not Advisory
Our courses explain how Singapore's estate frameworks work. They are education, not legal or financial advice. Where advice is needed, we say so plainly and point to the right professionals.
No Access Expiry
Once enrolled, course materials remain accessible for as long as you need them. Estate matters return to your attention at different life stages, and we do not put a timer on your access.
Connected to a Wider Network
Our courses direct learners to the Public Trustee's Office, the Office of the Public Guardian, estate solicitors, SNTC, and pastoral and community support services when these are relevant.
