Wills and Estates

Your Will is arguably the most important document that you should have in place as it sets forth your wishes regarding the distribution of your property and care of any minor children when you pass away.

Estate planning is important in the process of drafting a Will as Estate Duty is levied on a person’s estate at a rate of 20% (25% if the dutiable value of the estate is above R 30 million) when he or she passes away. There are measures that one can put in place to reduce the impact of Estate Duty on your estate so that your beneficiaries ultimately inherit more.
