无遗嘱死亡数据,及整合 AI 工具提升遗嘱订立服务的可及性
无遗嘱死亡数据,及整合 AI 工具提升遗嘱订立服务的可及性
工人党议员严燕松(Gerald Giam)书面质询律政部:(a) 部门是否掌握过去五年每年无遗嘱(intestate)去世的新加坡公民与永久居民人数;(b) 是否计划整合人工智能工具,提升遗嘱订立服务的可及性。律政部长唐振辉(Edwin Tong)答复:律政部并不追踪无遗嘱去世人数。他鼓励公众订立遗嘱,并指出如今确有 AI 工具可协助起草遗嘱,但无论是否用 AI,公众都须谨慎,并寻求专业法律意见。政府已推动相关资源更易获取——近期在 MyLegacy@LifeSG 上推出"遗嘱学习工具",帮助公众在寻求法律意见前理解订立遗嘱的考量,并生成可作参考的"遗嘱准备模板";但强调这是教育工具,不能替代法律意见。政府将继续完善身后规划资源,包括"负责任地使用 AI 订立遗嘱"的信息。
关键要点
- • 律政部不追踪无遗嘱去世人数
- • 承认已有 AI 工具可协助起草遗嘱,但强调无论是否用 AI 都须谨慎并寻求专业法律意见
- • 已在 MyLegacy@LifeSG 推出"遗嘱学习工具",定位为教育工具而非法律意见替代
律政部对 AI 进入法律服务持"欢迎辅助、守住底线"的态度:承认 AI 可协助起草遗嘱、并已推出官方数字工具降低门槛,但反复强调这些只是教育与参考,不能替代专业法律意见,且要求"负责任地使用 AI"。
工人党严燕松借"无遗嘱死亡"这一民生数据缺口,推动律政部把 AI 用于降低遗嘱订立门槛、提升可及性,把 AI 应用与普通公众的实际法律需求挂钩。
新加坡把 AI 引入公共法律服务时坚持"工具辅助、人类把关":官方亲自下场做数字工具降低门槛,但同时反复设限——AI 生成的遗嘱只是参考、不能替代律师。这体现了政府在民生领域推广 AI 应用时"提效但不越界、鼓励但强调责任"的一贯尺度。
“如今确有可用于协助起草遗嘱的人工智能(AI)工具。然而,无论是否使用 AI,公众在订立遗嘱时都必须谨慎,并应寻求专业法律意见。”

59 严燕松先生(Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song)询问律政部:(a) 部门是否掌握过去五年间每年无遗嘱(intestate)去世的新加坡公民与永久居民人数,若有,为多少;(b) 部门是否计划整合人工智能工具,以提升遗嘱订立服务的可及性。
唐振辉先生(Mr Edwin Tong Chun Fai):律政部并不追踪无遗嘱去世的新加坡公民与永久居民人数。
我们鼓励公众订立遗嘱。这样做能更好地确保其身后事务按其意愿得到妥善处理。年满 21 岁且心智健全者,可自行订立遗嘱,或委托第三方协助准备。
如今确有可用于协助起草遗嘱的人工智能(AI)工具。然而,无论是否使用 AI,公众在订立遗嘱时都必须谨慎,并应寻求专业法律意见。
政府已采取措施,让有关遗嘱与遗产认证的信息更易获取。例如,我们近期在 MyLegacy@LifeSG 上推出「遗嘱学习工具」,帮助公众在寻求法律意见前更好地理解订立遗嘱的各项考量。该工具会生成一份可供参考的「遗嘱准备模板」,用于身后规划,我们希望借此鼓励更多人订立遗嘱。需要明确的是,这应作为教育工具使用,不能替代法律意见。
我们将继续完善身后规划资源,包括有关负责任地使用 AI 订立遗嘱的信息,确保它们持续切合需要、行之有用,并鼓励公众订立遗嘱。

59 Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Minister for Law (a) whether the Ministry has data on the number of Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who have died intestate in each of the last five years and if so, what is the number; and (b) whether the Ministry plans to integrate artificial intelligence tools to enhance the accessibility of will-writing services.
Mr Edwin Tong Chun Fai: The Ministry does not track the number of Singapore citizens and permanent residents who pass away intestate.
We encourage members of the public to make a will. Doing so provides greater assurance that their affairs will be taken care of in accordance with their wishes after their passing. A person who is at least 21 years old and of sound mind may write his or her own will or engage a third party to assist with its preparation.
There are artificial intelligence (AI) tools today that might be used to assist in preparing a will. However, the public must exercise care in making their wills, whether using AI or not, and should seek professional legal advice.
The Government has taken steps to make information on wills and probate more accessible. For example, we recently launched a Will Learning Tool on MyLegacy@LifeSG to help members of the public better understand the considerations in making a will before seeking legal advice. The tool generates a Will Preparation Template that can be used as a reference for legacy planning, which we hope will encourage more to go on to make wills. To be clear, this should be used as an education tool and it is not a substitute for legal advice.
We will continue to improve legacy planning resources, including information on the responsible use of AI in will-making, to ensure that they remain relevant and useful, and encourage the making of wills.
