โHaving a Will is important. Having a valid Will is what makes the difference.
In South Africa ๐ฟ๐ฆ, a person aged 16 or older can generally make a Will if they understand what they are signing. The Will must be in writing and signed at the end in the presence of at least two competent witnesses. The person making the Will must also sign the other pages.
A witness may be 14 or older if competent to give evidence in court. But beneficiaries, nominated executors and certain related people should not be witnesses because of the legal consequences.
A good next step? Have a professional check the document, then keep the signed original safe ๐ - and tell someone trusted where it is.
