What is ASB Hibah Amanah?

A syariah-compliant estate planning service from ASNB that lets you transfer ASB units to named recipients during your lifetime (effective upon your death). Combines two Islamic concepts:

Why use it

โœ… Avoid Faraid Disputes

Bypass Islamic inheritance distribution disputes entirely. You choose who gets what, in what %.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ Up to 10 Recipients

Name up to 10 recipients with specific allocation percentages. Total must = 100%.

โฑ๏ธ Fast Claims (~21 days)

vs 6-12 months for probate/letter of administration. Recipients get units/cash in ~21 working days.

๐Ÿ“„ No SKM Required

No need for Surat Kuasa Mentadbir (court letter of administration). The Hibah document IS your proof.

โš–๏ธ No Court Challenges

Hard to contest in Syariah court โ€” recipients are pre-named with explicit % allocations.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Low Cost

Just RM190 year-one + RM10/year. Compare to lawyer fees for wasiat (RM1,000+).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

โœ— Pre-registering with <1,000 unit bebas cagar โ€” registration will be rejected. Check your myASNB first.
โœ— Forgetting the 2 Muslim male witnesses โ€” Ijab & Qabul is invalid without them. You MUST bring them.
โœ— Confusing the 2 forms โ€” Surat Kuasa Wakil (Power of Attorney) is SEPARATE from Borang Permohonan. Both required.
โœ— Stopping the annual RM10 payment โ€” your Hibah may lapse. Set auto-pay reminder.
โœ— Allocation % not totaling 100% โ€” form will be rejected. Math first, submit second.
โœ— Minors without guardian โ€” recipient under 18 needs appointed guardian details on the form.
โœ— Assuming non-Muslims/non-Malaysians can't receive โ€” they CAN. All nationalities + religions OK.
