Did you know that more than half of South Africans pass away without a valid will? When that happens, the law decides how your estate is divided – not you. This can leave loved ones facing unnecessary stress, delays, costs and sometimes even disputes.
That’s why Wills Week, running from 15-19 September 2025, is such an important reminder to take a simple but powerful step: putting your wishes in writing.
A properly drafted will ensures that:
- Your assets go to the family YOU choose.
- Guardianship for minor children is clear.
- Your estate is handled smoothly, saving your family time and costs.
Whether you are starting a family, buying property, or simply want peace of mind, having a valid will is one of the most important gifts you can leave your loved ones.
Our team at Mooney Ford Attorneys is here to make the process easy and personal. During Wills Week, we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to create or update your will – and secure your family’s future.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Let’s put your wishes on paper this Wills Week ✍️
