Who inherits when there is no will, in South Africa?
If you do not have a legal, valid will the law will govern how your assets are distributed. The executor of your estate will have to ensure that your estate is divided in line with the Intestate Succession Act with consideration of the Maintenance of Surviving Spouses Act and Children’s Act, if applicable. Your estate will be divided per stirpes and by representation.
