Taking the time to draft a will can leave you with the peace of mind that your assets will be distributed according to your wishes as far as possible.

Your will should reflect exactly how you want your assets to be dealt with after your death.

The National Wills Week (in Jan L Jordaan Inc’s case “Wills month”) is a joint initiative of the Law Society of South Africa and its six constituent members, the Black Lawyers Association, the Cape Law Society, the KwaZulu-Natal Law Society, the Law Society of the Free State, the Law Society of the Northern Provinces and  the National Association of Democratic Lawyers. 

During September 2016 Jan L Jordaan Inc. will attend your will at no charge.

There are a number of legal requirements that have to be complied with for a will to be valid. If it does not comply with all of these requirements it could be found to be invalid. Your estate would then be dealt with in terms of the Intestate Succession Act of 1987. It is therefore of the utmost importance that you obtain the assistance of one of the Attorneys at Jan L Jordaan Inc. with the necessary specialised skill and knowledge to assist you with the drafting of your will.

Please contact our office on 011 748 4500 to set up an appointment with one of our Attorneys.

A will should also regularly be revised and updated to adapt to your changing circumstances.

Thinking and talking about one’s passing is not a pleasant subject.

Having a valid, clear and unambiguous will can prevent unpleasant family feuds caused by them having to make decisions about the distribution of your estate.

It is certainly worth the time and effort to have a valid written will in place.
