Testament

A will is a legal document that gives you the opportunity to decide how your assets and property are to be distributed after your death. A will gives you control over the distribution of your inheritance and can help to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings between your survivors.

Making a will is important to ensure that your wishes are followed when your assets and values are distributed after your death. Without a will, your inheritance will be distributed according to the rules of the Inheritance Act, which may not reflect your personal wishes and considerations.

First, you should think about how you want your assets and values to be distributed after your death. Then you can ask for legal help to draw up a will that is in line with your wishes and applicable inheritance legislation. A lawyer is not required to draw up the will, but there are statutory formal requirements that must be followed in order for it to be valid and legally binding (including testamentary witnesses).

Will witnesses are persons who are present when you sign the will and who then sign it as witnesses. These persons must be of legal age and impartial. This means that they cannot be heirs in the will or closely related to you.

Yes, you can change your will, but there must be witnesses present and the will must not contravene inheritance legislation.

If you do not make a will, your inheritance will be distributed according to the rules of the Inheritance Act. This means that your closest relatives, such as your spouse, children, parents and siblings, will inherit in a specific order and in specific proportions. Without a will, it may be difficult to safeguard your personal wishes and considerations, and conflicts may arise more easily between your surviving relatives.
