The importance of a properly drafted will is often understated. Your will is the only document that can ensure your wishes are adhered to when you are no longer there. It often happens that an ill drafted will could be invalid or not executable.
In these circumstances the will you left behind may be of no value and your estate shall be administered in accordance with the Intestate Succession Act. This means that your heirs shall be determined by legislation.
It is important to ensure that your will is kept at a safe place and that the necessary people are aware of its contents and its whereabouts. If your original will is for some reason lost or destroyed your estate will be wound up as if you never had a valid will. From this it is clear that the safekeeping of your will is also a very important consideration and an original copy of your will can be held by us in exchange for a nominal annual fee.
