Why do you want it?

Most Wills focus on the distribution of the Testator’s property and assets, but much more can be included in your Will. For example:

• you have the right to decide who should inherit your assets and who should not;
• you ensure that your family is provided for in terms of your last wishes;
• you can name guardians for your children and their property;
• you could create a Trust for your children or other beneficiaries;
• you can name the Executor to wrap up your estate, preferably someone you trust;
• you can avoid extra and unnecessary costs and even minimise taxes, with good tax advice;
• you can plan for the fees associated with passing away, such as Executor’s fees, conveyancing fees and Trust fees; and
• you may avoid unhappiness and family conflict because there are clear instructions on how to distribute your property and assets.

Do you need it?

Anybody over the age of 16 can have a Will. You really should have a Will if you:

• Are married;
• Have children; or
• Own property and assets

How much does it cost?

Most financial services and law firms offer estate planning. The cost of a will starts at around R500 and increases as the will becomes more complex.
