5 Best Estate Planning Lawyers in Hong Kong (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Putting off a will in Hong Kong is easy until a family member asks the uncomfortable question of what happens to the flat, the savings, and the kids if something happens to you. Estate planning lawyers here range from 4.6 to 5.0 stars, and the firm with a dedicated Private Client practice for wills and probate is not the one with the most reviews, so the star rating alone will not tell you who fits.

Short answer: For wills, probate and succession planning in Hong Kong, 24 Legal Service carries the most reviews on this page (4.9 stars, 182 reviews), and Oldham, Li & Nie lists Private Client, Estate Planning and Probate as a named practice area with a 4.7 rating from 83 reviews. Free or low-cost initial consultations are common; drafting fees are typically fixed once scope is set.

4.9157 Google reviews

陳柏豪律師事務所 (CPH Legal) is a Central law firm led by Eric Chan best known for personal injury and criminal work, but its team also handles family-related legal matters and has fielded client requests around wills, as one reviewer's thank-you for help drafting a will attests. The firm runs a 24-hour emergency WhatsApp line.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe patient, thorough explanation of legal steps in plain language
  • 24-hour emergency contact available
  • Nearly a perfect rating across 157 reviews
  • Team includes named staff clients specifically thank for will-related help

Worth knowing

  • Estate planning is not the firm's headline specialty; most public reviews describe personal injury and criminal defence work

Our take: Worth calling if you already trust this firm from other matters, but confirm which solicitor handles wills day to day, since the visible track record leans toward litigation.

  • Notary public services on site, useful for authenticating estate documents
  • Saturday hours for clients who cannot visit on weekdays

Worth knowing

Chaudhry Solicitors

5.076 Google reviews

Chaudhry Solicitors is a Tsim Sha Tsui firm led by Kamran Chaudhry that lists Wills And Probate among its named practice areas, alongside criminal, civil, family and immigration law. The firm serves a client base that includes many South Asian and expat families navigating Hong Kong's legal system, often in more than one language.

What people praise

  • Wills And Probate is a stated, named practice area on the firm's own site
  • Perfect 5.0 rating across every review on the page
  • Multilingual support, useful for cross-border family estates

Worth knowing

  • Smaller review base than the highest-volume names on this page, and the visible reviews mostly describe immigration and criminal cases rather than probate specifically

Our take: One of only two firms here to name wills and probate outright as a practice area, and the perfect rating is a strong signal even with fewer total reviews.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the firm’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many clients have rated them, ranked against other Hong Kong lawyers in this practice area. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume. Recency reflects how recently clients are still leaving reviews. No firm can pay to change these numbers.

What does estate planning cost in Hong Kong? (2026)

Will drafting fees in Hong Kong scale with complexity: a simple single will costs less than a set of mirror wills for a couple, and both cost less than a full estate plan involving trusts, business succession or overseas property. Ask each firm for a fixed quote once they understand your assets.

Serving all of Hong Kong

The firms above cover Central, Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui and Admiralty, and most accept clients from anywhere in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories by phone consultation before an in-person signing. Searching for an estate planning lawyer near me? Every listing shows a live phone number so you can call directly.

What to ask before you hire an estate planning lawyer

  • Do you draft wills for property held both in Hong Kong and overseas?
  • Will you also handle probate later, or only the will drafting now?
  • Is the fee fixed for a standard will, and what pushes it higher?
  • How do you handle updates if my family situation or assets change?
  • Can you advise on succession for a family business, not just personal assets?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these estate planning lawyers?

We started from law firms in Hong Kong with a public Google presence that handle wills, probate or private-client estate work, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do I need a will in Hong Kong if I already have one from another country?

It depends on where your assets are held. A Hong Kong-qualified estate lawyer can tell you whether a local will is needed alongside an existing overseas one, particularly for property or bank accounts held in Hong Kong.

What happens if I die without a will in Hong Kong?

Your estate is distributed under Hong Kong’s intestacy rules, which follow a fixed order of relatives and may not match what you would have chosen. A will lets you set out your own wishes.

The bottom line

Oldham, Li & Nie and Chaudhry Solicitors are the two firms here that name wills, probate or private-client work as a dedicated practice area, making either a safer starting point than a general practice for anything beyond a simple will. Bring a list of your assets to the first meeting so the quote is accurate from the start.
