Amanah Raya Berhad (AmanahRaya) has been at the forefront of Legacy Planning since its establishment as the Department of Public Trustees and Estate Administrator Officer in 1921, which today has exclusive jurisdiction to administer estate summarily, hence enabling a speedy and hassle-free estate administration process.
For more than a century, AmanahRaya has stood as a pillar of trust and stability in Malaysia’s financial landscape. Established under the Public Trust Corporation Act 1995, AmanahRaya remains the nation’s premier provider of Estate Administration, Trust Administration and Will Writing services — a position it has held through a steadfast commitment to professionalism, inclusivity and innovation.
AmanahRaya has developed a fully integrated network of 20 branches nationwide, making its services accessible to Malaysians from all walks of life. Its asset base and wide-ranging portfolio reflect its unique role as both a public trustee and a socially responsible entity, bridging personal financial planning with national economic development.
Through its subsidiaries, AmanahRaya also provides Corporate Trusteeship Services (AmanahRaya Trustees Berhad), Fund Management Services (AmanahRaya Investment Management Berhad) and Real Estate Investment Trust and Management Services (AmanahRaya-Kenedix REIT Manager Sdn. Bhd.).
Comprehensive Services For Every Malaysian
When it comes to services, AmanahRaya provides a comprehensive suite of legacy planning solutions encompassing Estate Administration, Trust Administration, Will Writing and Hibah, to serve the diverse needs of the public.
What sets AmanahRaya apart is its ability to blend legal authority, financial expertise and human understanding in handling complex estate administration matters. By leveraging a robust regulatory foundation and partnerships with government agencies and financial institutions, the company ensures that every Malaysian, regardless of income level or background, can access reliable legacy planning solutions.
Empowering Malaysians Through Legacy Awareness
In August 2025, AmanahRaya launched the “Bina Legasi 2025” campaign, aimed at encouraging Malaysians to proactively engage in legacy planning services. This nationwide initiative offers exclusive promotions across all products at its 20 branches, with the goal of making Legacy Planning Instruments more accessible and affordable.
As of 30 September 2025, AmanahRaya has administered more than 350,000 estate cases and managed more than 200,000 Trust accounts valued at approximately RM23 billion. The organisation has also managed to register over 1.3 million Wills.
AmanahRaya underscores its commitment to delivering comprehensive, inclusive and accessible services to all Malaysians. They aspire for this campaign to serve as a catalyst in normalising conversations around legacy planning, regardless of background or financial standing, to help ensure a secure future for families.
AmanahRaya aims to foster a more financially literate and future-oriented society, encouraging Malaysians to view legacy planning not as a luxury but as an essential aspect of responsible financial management.
Supporting The Nation’s Growth
Beyond its individual services, AmanahRaya plays an essential role in supporting Malaysia’s economic resilience. By ensuring the efficient management and transfer of wealth across generations, the organisation contributes to financial stability and capital continuity within the economy.
Moreover, as Malaysia assumes a more prominent role within ASEAN—particularly as Chair this year—AmanahRaya’s legacy planning solutions contribute to reinforcing sustainable economic development.
With its deep-rooted history, strong governance and people-first approach, AmanahRaya continues to evolve as more than a legacy planning services provider — it is a custodian of legacies, a builder of trust and a partner in national growth.
