Wills
While you may not want to think about the possibility of your life ending, death is inevitable, and it would be wise to ensure that once your time on earth comes to an end your loved ones are still being taken care of.
By creating a last will and testament, and assigning the power of attorney over your estate to someone who you can trust, the financial interest of your heirs are guaranteed to be protected.
What is a last will and testament?
A last will and testament (which may be referred to as a will) is a specialized document which should be drawn up by an attorney.
Any person older than 16 years is allowed to make a will and choose their power of attorney, in order to determine how his or her estate should devolve upon death. If you die without a last will and testament, your estate will devolve in terms of the rules of intestate succession. Contrary to general belief, your assets do not go to the state.
