Nonyane Inc will be taking part in the 2023 edition of the National Wills Week. The Wills Week will run from the 11 to 15 September 2023.
WHY MUST YOU HAVE A WLL?
By making a will you ensure that your assets are disposed of in accordance with your wishes after your death. This privilege is called "Freedom of Testation".
WHY SHOULD AN ATTORNEY DRAFT YOUR WILL?
Attorneys are professionals qualified in law. An attorney can advise you on any problem which may arise with regard to your will. An attorney has the knowledge and expertise to ensure that your will is valid and complies with your wishes. Often a will is not valid because the person who drafts it does not have the necessary legal knowledge to ensure that the requirements of the law are met.
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR ESTATE IF YOU DIE WITHOUT A VALID WILL?
If you die without leaving a valid will, your assets will be distributed according to the provisions of the Intestate Succession Act. The provisions of the Intestate Succession Act are generally fair and ensure that your possessions are transferred to your spouse and children. BUT, the following problems may arise if you die without leaving a will:
- Your assets may not benefit the person of your choice
- It can take a long time to have an executor appointed.
- The executor who is appointed may be somebody you may not have chosen yourself.
- There may be extra and unnecessary costs
- There can be unhappiness and conflict among family members because there are no clear instructions on how to distribute your assets.
