Here's an interesting case study! 6 siblings sued 2 brothers over the division of 8 properties of their parents!
Their parents owned a total of 8 properties. 2 were put under the names of relatives which were later transferred to their two sons (Thian & Nga). Another son (Tiong) has 1 property under his name and 3 others as joint owner. He acknowledged that these properties were only held in trust for his parents. However, Thian and Nga said the properties were intended to be given to them.
A letter from their father suggested that the properties were transferred to Nga and Thian from the relatives temporarily.
This saga could have been prevented had a Will has been done. Intentions will be clearly written out. The case has been closed as the 8 siblings have reached a private settlement.
