Ensure your peace of mind and create a will

We will help you draft a will that ensures your wishes are carried out legally, that your loved ones are taken care of and that your possessions of monetary and sentimental value are properly protected and distributed.

Secure the future of your loved ones

  • Why should I create a 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 allows you:

    • Decide who gets your assets and property — and who doesn’t
    • Save time, money, and stress for your loved ones
    • Lower the potential for family disputes
    • Determine who will manage your estate (the executor)
    • Nominate the person/institution to administer any testamentary trust (the trustee)
    • Choose who will take care of your minor children
    • Provide instructions for your funeral
    • Protection and management of your assets
    • Ensure your estate is set up in a tax-efficient way
    • If you’re a business owner, to ensure the business succession is in place so that your business continues to run smoothly

  • How do I go about it?

    • Apply for your will through your Absa Online Banking account
