Wills & Estate

A lot of expatriates oversee that their existing Last Will and Testament back home might not comply with South African Law and therefore might be partially or in toto invalid. There is also the risk that certain assets (properties, vehicles, shares, claims…), sometimes acquired after the latest draft or due to unknown legislation, are not covered by any testament. Beside this the South African law of estates might provide provisions that enable the Testator to direct or bequeath in a way, which the known law back at the country of origin might not allow.

Over and above more and more clients wish to safeguard their bodies and believes through Patients Wills and to secure an orderly burial or cremation by having a Cremation or Burial Directive.

IBN Consulting informs about the legal provisions of the South African Law of Estates, advises on possibilities to structure Wills, Patient Wills or Directives and drafts the final documents and offers the services of its skilled directors as executors of the estate.
