WHY YOU NEED A WILL AND TESTAMENT

It’s often said that you can’t anticipate what life has in store for you. Nevertheless, you can make sure that your loved ones are taken care of when you are no longer around. Drafting a professional Will can ensure that upon your death, your wishes are carried out. A properly drafted Will ensures that possessions of monetary and sentimental value are protected and distributed appropriately.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON’T HAVE A WILL AND TESTAMENT AT THE TIME OF YOUR DEATH?

A Will and testament allows you to nominate a trusted executor, appoint heirs of your choice and even nominate guardians for your minor children. Ultimately, a Will and testament is the foundation of any estate plan. In the case of someone dying without a Will, the Master of the High Court will appoint an executor since no-one would have been nominated. The executor’s first duty is to locate a Will and testament if there is one. If your Will cannot be found among personal papers, the estate must be administered as if no Will has been drawn up.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WILL AND TESTAMENT


Though it has at times been thought that a "will" historically applied only to real property while "testament" applied only to personal property (thus giving rise to the popular title of the document as "last will and testament"), the historical records show that the terms have been used interchangeably.
