Abstract Ng Chee Tian & Anor v Ng Chee Pong & 2 Ors 2025 SGHC 246 clarifies trustees’ duties to account and get in estate assets in the context of informal family administration, joint accounts, and incomplete records. It also elucidates the interaction between resulting trusts, advancement, and survivorship, while reaffirming the central role of falsification, surcharging, and wilful default accounts as tools of fiduciary enforcement, including the court’s willingness to proceed directly to consequential relief where accounting material is sufficient.
