I want to start my business
Foreigner have the right to start a business in Singapore, provided that they have a valid work permit. Setting up a business is usually quite simple under Singapore law. However, there are situations where the nature of business requires a license, such as in the banking or food industry.
I need advice for a divorce
If you need advice for a divorce in Singapore, it is important to understand the legal process and implications. To initiate a divorce, you will need to file a petition with the local court in the canton where you reside.
The court will then schedule a hearing to determine the terms of the divorce, including custody arrangements for children and division of assets. Child custody and visitation rights will be determined based on the best interests of the children, while spouses may be entitled to spousal support or a share of marital assets.
It is important to seek legal advice to ensure that your rights are protected during the process and to understand how the divorce may impact your residency status as an expatriate in Singapore.
I have questions about my inheritance
The statutory order of inheritance in Singapore outlines priority among legal heirs, with specific entitlements for surviving spouses and descendants. Understanding the hierarchy and principles of inheritance is crucial for effective estate planning.
Writing a will allows for customization of inheritance distribution, with important considerations such as appointing an executor, clarifying bequests, and granting usufruct.
