Folio — Solutions
Three Services,
One Clear Purpose
From a single educational briefing to a four-month register programme — choose the engagement that fits where your family is right now.
← Back to HomeOur Methodology
How the Work Is Done
Every Vellumkin engagement follows the same underlying principle: we work only with documents the family already holds, and we produce only records of what is there. We do not source documents, contact institutions, or interpret the significance of anything we handle.
Within that principle, the three services differ in depth and duration. The Terminology Briefing is educational — it runs for two hours and produces printed materials. The Family Archive Assembly is organisational — it runs across three appointments and produces a physical and digital archive. The Provenance and Register Programme is documentary — it runs for four months and produces a bound register with provenance notes for each item.
All three end with a practitioner directory so families know who to contact next.
Second-Person Verification
Every index entry, gap list item and provenance note is reviewed by a second team member before the archive is handed back to the family.
Data Held Under PDPA 2010
Appointment notes are the only personal data we retain, and we hold them in accordance with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010.
Written Scope Before Work Begins
Every engagement starts with a scope agreement. The family keeps a copy and knows from the outset exactly what will and will not be done.
Unhurried Sessions
Each appointment runs at the family's pace. No next client is booked until the current session is complete and the family is satisfied.
Folio 01
Terminology and Documents Briefing
A two-hour session explaining the vocabulary families encounter when handling a relative's papers, which documents commonly exist, and how records are usually organised. Educational only: it interprets nothing, advises on nothing, and takes no position on any family's situation. Delivered in small groups.
What is included:
Session format:
Introduction to common document types and what each one typically records
How records are usually organised, referenced and cross-linked
Walkthrough of the checklist and glossary; group questions answered
RM 470
Best for
Families who have just taken receipt of a relative's papers and are not yet certain what they have. The briefing is a natural starting point before any assembly work begins.
Best for
Families with an existing collection of papers — whether ordered or scattered — who want a single indexed archive before handing anything to a solicitor or estate planner.
Folio 02
Family Archive Assembly
A guided assembly of the family's own papers, photographs and property records into one indexed archive, with a printed contents page, labelled dividers, and a scanned mirror on storage the family controls. Clerical organisation only, with no reading of legal effect into any item. Three appointments across six weeks.
What is included:
Three-appointment process:
Inventory — all items logged, grouped and given a reference code
Organisation — labelling, dividers inserted, naming convention agreed
Final review — contents page and gap list verified; digital mirror delivered
RM 1,690
Folio 03
Provenance and Register Programme
A four-month programme building a register of the family's own holdings from the family's own documents: a dated chronology, a provenance note for each item where the family can evidence it, and a neutral summary sheet for handover to a qualified professional. Documentation work only — nothing is valued, interpreted, advised upon, or communicated to any institution.
What is included:
Programme milestones:
Month one — inventory and initial chronology draft
Month two — provenance notes drafted for each item
Month three — review, gap list, summary sheet preparation
Month four — bound register produced, digital mirror delivered, final review
RM 4,110
Best for
Families with a substantial collection of papers who need a fully documented register that can be handed directly to a solicitor, estate planner or court-appointed administrator.
