Wills Creation

Wills are important legal documents that ensure your family and loved ones are looked after in case anything should happen to you.

A will is a document that contains detailed instructions on how to handle your assets and property in the unfortunate event of your death. Any person of any age should consider a will. Wills should not be left to those who have reached an age where death is nearest. People pass on at any age and a will is imperative, especially if you have assets and property that will need to be allocated.

For a will to be considered a legal document it must:

• Be in writing. Handwritten, printed or typed.
• Be signed with your signature at the end of the document
• Be witnessed by a minimum of 2 other parties present at the time of signing. They will need to acknowledge they were present and must sign the will as your witnesses.

If a person passes on without a will, the rules according to law will apply. Passing away without a will is referred to as ‘intestate’. If you die intestate the court will rule on how things are done, how property is distributed and who the beneficiaries will be.

Here are a few reasons why Beyond Numbers reccomends a will:

• Protection of loved ones
• Smooth transfer of assets
• Securing your children’s future
• Second marriages
