Ensure that your wishes are honoured with an Absa will

A will gives you the opportunity to indicate how and to whom your assets are to be distributed after your death. If you die without a will, your assets may not end up with the people you would have wanted them to. A will also allows you:

• Comprehensive estate planning suited to your unique needs
• Easy and comprehensive estate administration
• Protection and management of your assets
• Distribution of assets according to your wishes
• Nomination of the responsible person/institution for winding up your estate (the executor)
• Nomination of a guardian to look after the affairs of any of your minor children
• Protection of benefits to beneficiaries by way of a testamentary trust
  
• Nomination of the responsible person/institution for administering any testamentary trust (the trustee)
• Assistance in cases where the testator/testatrix was involved in more than one relationship or marriage
• Adequate liquidity in the estate to meet commitments during the winding-up period
• Determining estate duty and other taxes and ensuring that your estate is set up in a tax-efficient way
• For business owners, to ensure the business succession is in place so that your business continues to run smoothly
