Why to have a will drawn up:
Having a last will and testament, professionally drawn up, will ensure that your possessions are distributed among your loved ones according to your wishes, should you pass away.
It will take the burden off your loved ones and contribute to some semblance of peace of mind in the event of your passing.
It is advisable to have an attorney draw up your will, because an attorney has the necessary knowledge and expertise to ensure it is valid and complies with your wishes.

Often a will is not valid because the person who drafts it does not have the necessary legal knowledge to ensure that the requirements of the law are met.
If you die without leaving a valid will, your assets will be distributed according to the provisions of the Intestate Succession Act.
In this case, the following problems could arise:
- Your assets may not be left to the person/s of your choice.
- It can take a long time to have an executor appointed.
- The executor who is appointed may be somebody you may not have chosen yourself.
- There can be extra and unnecessary costs.
- There can be unhappiness and conflict among members of your family because there are no clear instructions on how to distribute your assets.
