For overseas individuals and families, China-related succession, real estate, marriage, document, and litigation matters often require working through PRC legal procedures, overseas documentation requirements, and cross-border communication at the same time.
China-Singapore Legal News helps clients map out workable paths on the facts of their case and coordinates the legal and professional resources required to move them forward.
Who it's for
- Overseas Chinese, new immigrants, and naturalized citizens
- Individuals holding China-side real estate, bank assets, equity interests, or other in-country rights
- Transnational families involved in China-related marriage, succession, litigation, or documentary procedures
- Individual clients living overseas long-term but with China-related legal matters to handle
What we can help with
1. China succession and asset handling
Helping overseas heirs work through identity and family relationships, the scope of the estate, documentation requirements, and procedural paths — covering real estate, bank assets, equity, and other in-country rights.
2. China real estate and asset disposition
Helping assess viable paths for sale, transfer, succession, co-ownership handling, and the related funds arrangement; coordinating the relevant documents and procedures.
3. Cross-border wills, succession, and document procedures
Helping handle wills involving China-side assets, succession documents, identity documents, kinship certification, death certification, notarization, authentication, and translation.
4. China-related marriage and family matters
Helping with China-related marriage, divorce, custody, asset division, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.
5. Support in PRC litigation, arbitration, and enforcement proceedings
Depending on the case, helping clients participate remotely in PRC litigation, arbitration, and enforcement proceedings, working alongside qualified PRC lawyers or professional institutions.
6. Authorization, notarization, and document handling
Preparing powers of attorney, identity documents, marriage or kinship documents — and, where needed, arranging overseas notarization, Hague apostille, translation, and document delivery.
What we aim for
To give overseas clients clarity, when handling China-related matters, on:
- Where to start
- What documents to prepare
- What procedures may be involved
- Which steps can be progressed remotely
- Which questions still need further confirmation
