Secure the future of your loved ones

  • Why should I have a will?

    A will gives you the opportunity to indicate how and to whom your assets are to be distributed after your death. If you die without a will, your assets may not end up with the people you would have wanted them to. A will also allows you:

    • Comprehensive estate planning suited to your unique needs
    • Easy and comprehensive estate administration
    • Protection and management of your assets
    • Distribution of assets according to your wishes
    • Nomination of the responsible person/institution for winding up your estate (the executor)
    • Nomination of a guardian to look after the affairs of any of your minor children
    • Protection of benefits to beneficiaries by way of a testamentary trust
    • Nomination of the responsible person/institution for administering any testamentary trust (the trustee)
    • Assistance in cases where the testator/testatrix was involved in more than one relationship or marriage
    • Adequate liquidity in the estate to meet commitments during the winding-up period
    • Determining estate duty and other taxes and ensuring that your estate is set up in a tax-efficient way
    • For business owners, to ensure the business succession is in place so that your business continues to run smoothly
