Meet Mandy.
Mandy's mother always made sure her children were provided for, and knew the risks early enough to take out a sturdy life policy.
Sadly...
Mandy lost her mother at 16 - fortunately with the proceeds from her mom's life insurance, she and her sisters were able to settle debts and continue to live their life.
And now...
Mandy is always told she is just like her mom, and just like her mom she took out a MyCover™ life policy with us for less than R 400 per month to make sure her family is protected like she was.

Frequently asked questions
Is it compulsory for Muslims to draft a will?
Yes, it is compulsory. Islamic law is currently not recognised in South Africa and if there is no Islamic will, or any will for that matter, the Intestate Succession Act would govern the administration of the estate. The Prophet Mohammed, may peace be upon him, stated that it is unlawful for a Muslim to let three nights go by without drafting a will. This underscores the importance of a will in the Islamic faith. If you live in a country that does not recognise Islamic inheritance law, then the aforementioned hadith would be even more relevant to you.
Why should I have an Islamic will?
A will conveys your final wishes in a legally binding way, including how your estate must be divided. The benefit of having an Islamic will is that your estate will be administered according to Islamic law, providing for your Islamic heirs and religious responsibilities, however you still retain the freedom to appoint an executor of your choice to attend to the deceased estate administration process.
Why do you need life cover and EduCare™ (education cover)?
Life cover is life insurance or death cover which provides a cash lump sum in the event of your death, or if you become severely ill or impaired (you can include critical illness cover as part of your life insurance or take it out as a separate policy).A monthly premium to your insurer for life cover assists in safeguarding your loved ones from financial hardship if you die or suffer from one of a list of illnesses, as per your plan. The money can be put towards funeral costs, payment of a mortgage, debts, or your family’s living expenses.Though the aim may be to ensure that there is enough funding for your family when you are no longer around, we find that this amount often isn’t sufficient to cover children’s education. This is why we created the education protection plan, EduCare™, an estate planning product that provides dedicated cover for your children’s education and care needs should you become impaired, severely ill or pass away. EduCare™ helps cover school fees, personal care needs, school clothes, stationery, sporting equipment, food, transport and tertiary education.Both life cover and education protection cover are important and serve different functions. While life cover is essential to protect your family, it easily gets wrapped up in other things like bond payments, cars and other debts and expenses when you pass away.With EduCare™ there is money securely ring-fenced to take care of your children's educational and care needs if you pass away, become severely ill or impaired.
Do MyCover™ and MyAbility Cover™ expire?
Both MyCover™ and MyAbility Cover™ are whole of life benefits, they do not expire nor tapper down at any stage.
Do I pay Executor’s fees on MyCover™?
No. Because MyCover™ is an extender benefit of the Legacy Protection Plan™, all your executor fees are indemnified regardless of who the nominated beneficiary is. If your life cover from another provider pays to an individual, it wouldn’t attract executor’s fees. However, life cover from other providers that pay to your estate or a trust will attract executor’s fees which can be charged at 3.5% plus VAT.
What are the 3 types of testamentary trusts?
In estate planning in South Africa, testamentary trusts play a crucial role in safeguarding the financial security and well-being of beneficiaries. These trusts are established according to a person’s last will and testament and come into effect upon their passing, providing a framework for the management and distribution of assets. Below is an overview of the different types of testamentary trusts.Children’s trustA children’s trust, as the name suggests, is specifically designed to provide for minor children or dependents who may not be capable of managing their inheritance themselves. It allows the person whose will it is (testator = male, testatrix = female) to appoint a trustee who will oversee the management and distribution of assets on behalf of the children until they reach a specified age or milestone outlined in the will.The trustee is responsible for managing the assets in the best interests of the beneficiaries. The assets held in trust can be used to cover the children’s education expenses, healthcare needs, maintenance costs, and any other essential requirements. By establishing a children’s trust, the person whose will it is ensures that the children’s financial future is secure.Widow’s trustA widow’s trust is designed to provide financial support and security to the surviving spouse after the testator’s death. By creating a widow’s trust, the testator can ensure that their spouse is adequately taken care of.The widow’s trust is typically structured to provide the surviving spouse with regular income or distributions from the trust assets, while preserving the principal amount for the ultimate beneficiaries, such as children. The testator can specify the terms and conditions for the distribution of assets within the trust, ensuring that the surviving spouse’s needs are met without compromising the long-term financial stability of the other beneficiaries.Provider’s trustA provider’s trust focusses on ensuring the financial well-being of a dependent individual, such as a family member with a disability or a loved one with special needs, upon the testator’s passing. This trust is specifically designed to provide ongoing financial support and care for such beneficiaries, taking into account their unique requirements.By creating a provider’s trust, the testator ensures that their loved one will receive the necessary financial support, which will be managed by a trustee who understands the beneficiary’s specific needs.Choosing the right testamentary trust offers invaluable benefits and peace of mind in estate planning, particularly when it comes to providing for vulnerable beneficiaries. With these unique testamentary trust options for estate planning available – children’s, widow’s, provider’s trusts – the individual needs of your loved ones can be taken care of when you are no longer here.There are many types of trusts for asset management after death. However, when it comes to the individual requirements of minors, surviving spouses and dependents with special needs, you have access to unique testamentary trust options for estate planning.Not sure where to start?
