What is a will and why do I need one?


A will allows people to specify how their assets and possessions should be distributed among their loved ones. Without a will, the state laws will determine how the assets are divided, which may not align with the deceased person's preferences. Having a will is essential for individuals to ensure that their wishes are carried out after they pass away. Additionally, a will can designate guardianship for minor children, specify funeral arrangements, and minimize potential conflicts among family members. By having a will in place, individuals can provide clarity and peace of mind for their family members during a difficult time.


Did you know that less than 15% of South Africans have a valid final will?



Where do I begin with drafting a will?


The answer is simple. You can draft a will with your financial advisor or lawyer. There is no need for fancy documents or calculations.


I have a will, but it's outdated and I lost my copy


There is no need to worry about an old will collecting dust. When you create a new will, the old one automatically becomes void. A valid will always has the latest date and witness signatures, proving it to be sound.


I don't have the time to have a will drafted


Modern-day problems require modern-day solutions. Companies like Capital Legacy bring the drafting process to you. With an online process, you can have a complete will drafted in a matter of minutes.


Stop procrastinating your legacy and take the first step to securing it today.
