People
Heirs, guardians, executors, trustees, dependants and substitute beneficiaries.
Free standard will drafting
Your will is not a list of assets. It is the instruction manual your family will need.
Complete the short enquiry form, speak to us by telephone and receive a professionally prepared standard will at no drafting fee, subject to the scope and terms below.
A will within a plan
The document should match the reality.
Ownership, debt, marriage, business interests, beneficiary nominations, existing trusts and estate liquidity can all affect whether a will achieves what its writer intended.
Property
What you legally own, what is jointly owned, what belongs to a company or trust, and what is subject to debt.
Practical consequences
Cash needed for debts and costs, tax, business continuity, minors, timing and the safe custody of the signed original.
What your will can address
Decisions that should not be left to assumption.
- Who receives the residue of your estate.
- Specific bequests of property, business interests or personal items.
- Alternative heirs when a named beneficiary does not survive you.
- Guardians for minor children.
- An executor to administer the estate.
- A testamentary trust and trustee for selected beneficiaries.
- Burial, cremation or organ-donation wishes as supplementary instructions.
The free will process
Three practical steps
The online form is intentionally brief. Sensitive and complex information is confirmed privately during the consultation.
Complete the enquiry
Provide your contact details, family overview, broad asset categories and whether you have an existing will.
Telephone consultation
We clarify the people, ownership, bequests, guardians, executor, trustee and any planning risks.
Prepare and sign
You receive the document with signing guidance. The will only becomes valid when it is properly signed and witnessed.
Testamentary trusts
Sometimes the right inheritance is not an immediate inheritance.
A testamentary trust can be created by your will when you die. It can provide a framework for maintenance, education, housing and long-term management for children, vulnerable beneficiaries or other people who should not receive an inheritance outright.
Learn how it worksCommon triggers
- Minor children.
- A beneficiary who needs support or protection.
- A blended family or second marriage.
- Business or property that should be managed rather than immediately sold.
- A desire to release capital over time instead of all at once.
Free will terms
Clear expectations before we start
The free offer covers a standard South African will after a telephone consultation. Complex tax planning, offshore assets, multiple jurisdictions, detailed business succession, trust deeds, litigation, specialist legal opinions and substantial redrafting fall outside the free scope and will be quoted before work continues.
No client relationship, executor appointment or obligation arises merely from submitting the form. Executor and trustee nominations remain decisions to be discussed and recorded by the client.
