You work hard to build up and maintain your assets. It makes sense to take the same sort of care in making sure that your loved ones get the benefit of them when you are gone.

But if you don’t have a will, your property will be divided up according to a set formula, whether you like it or not. And if you don’t have any next of kin when you die, your property will go to the State.

We provide a tailor made solution to your succession requirements and offers assurance that your property will be distributed in accordance with your wishes.
<h4 class="sub-title">How to make a Will?</h4>
<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden">
<div class="field-items">
<div class="field-item even">

To make a valid legal Will you must be over 18 years old, ensure your specific wishes are in writing and have it signed in the presence of two witnesses.To ensure that your estate is given to the people that you care about when you die, it is important to prepare a legal Will.

You should make a Will even if you think you have little to leave. If you do not make a legal Will, your estate will be distributed using a fixed formula determined by the government. This formula is applied regardless of your situation.
<h4>How do I make sure my Will is valid?</h4>
The laws governing the legal requirements for preparing a valid legal Will vary from state to state. However, in all states you must:
<ul class="sg-blue-bullet">
 	<li>Have testamentary capacity, which means you must be over 18 years old and understand what you are doing</li>
 	<li>Ensure that your specific wishes are in writing – verbally telling someone what you would like to happen is not enough, and</li>
 	<li>Have the document signed in the presence of two witnesses in order for your Will to be valid.</li>
</ul>
