What Clients Say About Working with Quorvus

The Situation

The client was a retired professional with property in Selangor and Pahang, several bank accounts, and a Takaful policy. His children were adults but he had no wasiyyah and was uncertain how faraid would apply. He had been told by a well-meaning relative that a civil will would be sufficient.

What Quorvus Did

The engagement began with a full review of the asset picture. The practitioner explained clearly how faraid would distribute the estate and where the wasiyyah could operate — covering the one-third that was within the client's discretion. Nominations on the Takaful policy were reviewed. A wasiyyah was prepared and registered with the relevant council.

The Outcome

The client received a properly registered wasiyyah, a written summary for his family, and a clear picture of how his estate would be handled. The civil will question was also resolved — the practitioner confirmed it was valid for the assets outside faraid scope but needed minor adjustment, and referred the client to a civil solicitor for that part.

The Situation

A mid-sized institution was preparing a sukuk issuance under an ijarah structure. The documentation had been drafted by the conventional legal team. When the Shariah committee reviewed it, several points were raised about the asset ownership representation and the lease terms. The closing date was at risk.

What Quorvus Did

Quorvus was brought in to review the documentation against the Shariah committee's concerns and to propose the specific amendments required. The team worked directly with both the conventional solicitors and the Shariah committee to resolve each point, and drafted the revised sections of the principal documents.

The Outcome

The Shariah committee's concerns were resolved within the revised timeline. The issuance closed with an amended set of documents and a closing memorandum that clearly flagged the operational obligations for the institution's treasury and compliance teams going forward.

The Situation

A Putrajaya-based family with business interests and significant property holdings had been managing their Shariah-related matters through ad-hoc consultations with different advisors. They found this unsatisfactory — matters were attended to reactively and no one held the full picture.

What Quorvus Did

The family enrolled in the Comprehensive Programme. The first engagement involved a thorough review of existing arrangements — wasiyyah, hibah, business structure, and takaful nominations. Gaps and inconsistencies were documented. Subsequent touchpoints addressed each matter in a structured sequence over the following months.

The Outcome

Within the first year, the family's Shariah-related arrangements were properly documented and consistent with one another. The waqf structure they had been considering for charitable purposes was finalised and registered. The annual review letter provided a consolidated record the family could share with their legal advisors.
