You've probably helped your parents with online banking, WhatsApp, or spotting scam messages.
But have you ever asked if they have a valid will?
It's not always an easy conversation to start, yet it's one of the most important. A will isn't only about money. It's about making sure your parents' wishes are known, their loved ones are protected, and unnecessary delays are avoided when the time comes.
A few simple questions to start:
✅ Do you have a will?
✅ Where is the original written will kept?
✅ Is the will signed & witnessed?
✅ When last was the will reviewed / updated?
✅ Who is the executor?
You don't need to discuss finances or who gets what. The goal is simply to make sure a plan exists and can be found when it's needed.
The reality is that many South Africans still don't have a will, which can leave families facing added stress and legal complications during an already difficult time.

This Heart Awareness Month, let's focus on progress, not perfection. Every healthier choice is a step towards a stronger future.
