There are many reasons why people would want to draft a Will. However the main purpose of having a Will is simply to ensure that you’re specific wishes and desires are executed at the time of your death. In essence, it becomes your voice, when you can no longer speak.

The Purpose of Having a Will & Testament

Our MisionAt My Will Online, it is our mission to ensure that all South Africans draft, store & maintain their Will & Testament.

Our service is based on 4 key principles:

1. Register & draft your Will2. Review your Will at least once a year3. Bi-annual reminders & notifications4. Customer knowledge hub

How We Do It

Why We Do ItThe existence of Wills & Testaments has been around for centuries. It is commonly said that the drafting of a Will is probably the most important document you will ever sign during your lifetime.

Ironically, it is estimated that around 80% of South Africans do not own a Will & Testament. Of the 20% who do own a Will, the greater majority has not reviewed their Will & Testament in recent years. It is therefore likely that your Will no-longer serves it’s intended purpose.

Why We Do It

Research indicates that a number of factors contribute to this reality. In short, these include the following:

Cost While some attorneys, financial planners and traditional banks may offer this service the costs are often excessive and unaffordable to the general public. Ongoing cost for amendments to existing Wills (codicils), furthermore contribute to the number of times a client review their Will.

Convenience Drafting a Will & Testament may require a client to take time out of an already busy schedule, to arrange several appointments with a service provider or having to wait in long queues, simply to draft your Will.

Awareness It is often thought that having a Will only applies to some people. Younger people often believe they do not require a Will, while people who do not have high value estates often believe the same. In truth, having a Will does not only apply to these considerations. Instead it has to do with providing guidance to your loved-ones at a most traumatic time in their lives. Single parents on the other hand often assume that close relatives, not considering the rights of the other parent, will rear minor children.

Appointing Executors Providers such as traditional banks, insurers and financial planning companies often require customers to appoint the institution offering the service as the executors to their estate. This is a general practice aimed at recouping costs from the client’s gross estate when the client dies. Furthermore, a client may well be required to be a high net-worth client (e.g. platinum member) in order to obtain these services.

But it’s Free! The reality is nothing in operating a business is for free without pre-determined terms and conditions. If it is, it advisable to carefully study the fine print and ensure that what is being offered, is in fact what you really intended to obtain. Research also indicates that “free” Wills are largely template driven and inflexible to specific customer requirements.

StorageHow would you know with certainty that in the event of your death the Will & Testament found is indeed the Last & Final Will & Testament? It is for this reason we offer a storage service to all our customers at no extra cost.

Validity vs. RelevanceA Will drafted some years ago may well remain valid, but if not reviewed at-least once a year, may prove irrelevant to your current circumstances.
