Who should have a will?

If any of the following circumstances are applicable to you, it may be necessary to have a will or review your existing will:

  • Recently married, divorced or widowed
  • Had a baby or adopted a child
  • Lost a spouse, child, parent or a sibling
  • Purchased a fixed property
  • Experienced a change in your personal or financial situation
  • Received an inheritance

Close

Why you should have a will

A will enables you to:

  • Choose who should benefit from your estate
  • Protect the interests of heirs, including the nomination of a guardian for minor children and/or a professional trustee to administer their inheritance
  • Nominate an executor of your choice, thus avoiding the delays involved in the appointment of an executor

Close

What if there is no will?

  • Delays in the administration of your estate
  • The beneficiaries of your estate will be determined according to legislation
  • The court could appoint someone you would not have approved of to be your executor
  • Cannot leave specific items to chosen beneficiaries
  • If you have no immediate family, distant relatives will inherit rather than close friends or a life partner
  • Your minor child's inheritance will have to be transferred in a monetary form to the Guardian's Fund until they reach the age of 18 years

Close

What is an executor?

  • The executor is the person or institution nominated in your will and whom the Master of the High Court will appoint to administer your estate.
  • The executor is entitled to charge a fee for their services.
    • This fee is set by legislation and is amended from time to time.
    • This fee is currently 3.5% of the gross value of your estate plus VAT.
  • In a will, you can only nominate an executor. The Master of the High Court needs to approve the nomination and then officially appoint the executor.

Close

A guardian for your child

Must you name a guardian for a child?

  • You should always name a guardian for a child who is a minor
  • A guardian ensures that the child is cared for by someone that you trust, to raise the child in the same manner as you would.

When nominating a guardian, please consider

  • Location: If a guardian is not resident in the same city, it may cause stress for the child if removed from a familiar environment.
  • Finances: Will accepting guardianship place a burden on finances?
  • Child's choice: Will your child feel secure with the guardian?
  • Guardian's age: If the child is young he/she will have to be cared for by the guardian until the age of 18.
  • Separate guardians: Do not nominate separate guardians for each child – they must be stay together.
  • Unmarried guardians: Do not nominate guardians to act together if they are unmarried. Children cannot be split between households.

Close

What others need to know about your will

Nominating a guardian

  • Location: If a guardian is not resident in the same city, it may cause stress for the child if removed from a familiar environment.
  • Finances: Will accepting guardianship place a burden on finances?
  • Child's choice: Will your child feel secure with the guardian?
  • Guardian's age: If the child is young he/she will have to be cared for by the guardian until the age of 18.
  • Separate guardians: Do not nominate separate guardians for each child - they must be stay together.
  • Unmarried guardians: Do not nominate guardians to act together if they are unmarried. Children cannot be split between households.

What is a living will?

The purpose of a living will is to record your wishes regarding life support and artificial means of keeping you alive.

It is completely separate from your last will and testament.

A living will does not advocate euthanasia but simply removes the burden of making a difficult decision to switch off life support, from the family.

Why save for retirement

Get the benefit of compound interest and returns, this is how money makes more money for you over a long period. Look after the future and start saving towards retirement as early as possible. Maintain your desired standard of living and plan for unforeseen expenses in your retirement.

Things to consider

  • How much do you need to save to be able to retire comfortably?
  • Will your company pension be sufficient?
  • Should you save for retirement in your company pension, an RA or a tax-free savings account?
  • How do you protect your retirement savings from volatile markets?
