What are the requirements for a will to be valid?
For a will to be valid in South Africa it has to meet the requirements of the Wills Act 7 of 1953, including:
The person whose will it is, must be 16 years or older;
The will must be in writing;
The will must be signed on every page by the person whose will it is (testator = male; testatrix = female);
The will must be witnessed by two competent, independent witnesses (14 years or older, of sound mind, not specified in the will), who must also sign every page.
There are aspects specific to your estate that may be overlooked, or legalities not taken into consideration if you do not have your will reviewed by a testamentary specialist. These oversights may result in your will being regarded as invalid, which could result in a costly legal exercise if it needs to be rectified.
We do not charge for drafting, amending, collection, safekeeping or retrieval of your will. We also ensure that all our clients' wills meet the legal requirements to be valid under South African law.
