Why Having a Valid Will Matters
Your will is one of the most important documents you will ever sign. It ensures that:
Your wishes are respected – You decide how your estate is distributed.
Your loved ones are protected – A surviving spouse or children are not left uncertain about their future.
Guardians are appointed – You choose who will care for your minor children.
Family disputes are avoided – Clear instructions reduce the risk of conflict.
Delays are minimized – Your estate can be finalized more efficiently.
Without a Valid Will
Your estate is distributed according to legislation, not your wishes
Your partner could be left with nothing
Your children’s inheritance may be placed in the Government Guardian’s Fund
Feuds, delays, and unnecessary costs may burden your family
Without a will, avoidable delays may occur
You forfeit the right to appoint a guardian
