Many working South Africans assume that wills are only necessary for the wealthy - but that misconception carries real consequences. In fact, roughly 70% of employed individuals don't have a will in place. Whether your assets are modest, a savings account, a vehicle, or retirement fund benefits - or substantial, having a valid will ensures your wishes are respected and your heirs are protected.

Think a Will Is Only for the Rich Think Again | Agathos BlueStar | Sanlam Financial Planners North West, South Africa Many believe that wills are for rich people. As a result, the Master of the High Court reported recently that about 70% of working South Africans don’t have wills. You need a will as soon as you own some kind of asset, even if it’s only a bank savings account.

"Only wealthy people need a will."

It's one of the biggest financial myths out there.

The truth? If you own a car, have savings, support loved ones, or simply want a say in what happens to your belongings, having a valid will matters.

Without a will, the law determines how your estate is distributed, which can create delays, costs, and unnecessary stress for the people you care about most.

A will isn't about how much money you have. It's about protecting your wishes and making things easier for your family when they need it most.

A common challenge for many SMEs isn't a lack of ambition. It's a lack of financial visibility.

Economic uncertainty, changing market conditions and rising costs make financial discipline more important than ever. One of the simplest ways to strengthen your business is to revisit the fundamentals:

• Build and update a financial roadmap
• Stay on top of bookkeeping and tax planning
• Monitor cash flow consistently
• Manage debt strategically
• Keep personal and business finances separate

As the saying goes, "A failure to plan is a plan to fail."

Taking time to review these areas can help business owners move from simply surviving to planning for sustainable growth.

It is said that nearly half of all marriages in South Africa end in divorce. Unfortunately divorce usually goes hand in hand with great unhappiness about the way in which the assets the two parties have built up over the years should be divided.

The marriage contract will determine to a large extent how these assets are to be divided.

Therefore, it is worthwhile to spend time scrutinising different forms of marriage contracts and how each of them can affect the division of assets later.
