Does someone who is an only child of 2 living parents need to do a will? Or will everything be settled by Intestate Succession Act?

Taking into account engaging a lawyer for doing up a will requires spending money.

It is better for the child's parents to talk about it with their only child.

My experience with estate of your loved ones is that nothing is automatic. You are better off with your loved ones doing their LPA, CPF and insurance nomination and will. They are separated components, no automatic, no one platform solves it all. Do not assume anything covered by laws automatically.
