Last Will and Testament & Trust Drafting Services
Last Will and Testament Services
It is imperative to plan your estate properly, failing which:
- your loved ones may be left in a state of confusion and stress with regards to determining the complex issue of administering your deceased estate;
- undesirable persons may inherit from you;
- there will be a delay in the administration;
- money for the benefit of minor children may be held in the Guardians Fund, instead of being administered in terms of a trust created for the purposes of maintaining such heirs;
- although possibly a remote prospect for most people, there is a chance that the State could inherit your estate.
