DO you have a will? Is your will up to date? Who will inherit from you when you can no longer express your wishes?
These are critical questions to ask when considering your legacy.
A will is a must-have legal document that guarantees your assets are distributed in line with your wishes after you have passed.
To ensure your wishes are maintained, it is advisable to have a will drafted by a legal practitioner who can navigate all the necessary legal requirements.
Legal Aid SA is amongst the law firms who are stepping up in support of this cause. During National Wills Week, September 11 to September 15, Legal Aid SA will provide a will drafting service to the public at no cost.
This initiative aims at raising awareness about the significance of having a will and ensuring it is current.
To take advantage of this opportunity, visit your nearest Legal Aid South Africa office. Please bring your ID document, a detailed list of your assets (such as property, clothing items, family heirlooms, and funds), and the particulars of those you intend to leave your assets to.
Whether you are yet to create a will or wish to update your existing one, Legal Aid SA is here to assist you throughout National Wills Week.
