More About Marriage and Wills
We all know by now the importance of a will, if done correctly it is a valid document announcing your last wish with regards the administration of your estate.
But have you ever considered the notion, that if you do not draft a will properly, your son’ or daughter’s spouse may benefit from the inheritance you left them.
In South Africa if a person is married in community of property, their assts and debts are jointly owned by both spouses from date of marriage. This includes assets acquired from a will …. UNLESS the will specifically exclude it.
The clause will safeguard the inheritance, thus your beneficiary will truly benefit from your estate without the risk of being split in a divorce or misused within a joint estate .
