Wills & Trust

🧩 What is Wills & Trust — Project Overview

Wills & Trust is a South Africa–based service specializing in estate planning, will drafting, trust creation, and deceased-estate administration. The platform offers individuals and families a way to legally plan the distribution of their assets, safeguard beneficiaries, and ensure that their legacy is handled according to their wishes — rather than default government inheritance laws.

The service covers the entire estate-planning lifecycle: drafting a will, establishing trusts, safekeeping signed documents, and providing support during probate or estate administration — aiming to make the process simple, accessible, and legally sound. Wills&Trust+1

🚧 The Challenge of the Project

Without proper estate planning, many people face significant issues:

• Assets may be distributed under default intestate succession laws rather than according to personal wishes, which can lead to unintended inheritance outcomes. Wills&Trust+1

• Families may suffer lengthy, complicated, and expensive probate or estate-administration processes after a loved one’s death.

• Beneficiaries — particularly minors or dependents — may be left financially insecure or unprotected without a clear legal structure.

• Legal paperwork, trust formation, and estate-administration procedures can be confusing or overwhelming for individuals with no legal background.

• Helping clients draft legally valid wills and set up appropriate trusts

• Safeguarding signed wills and important legal documents

• Offering transparent, managed estate-administration support when the estate is due to be settled

• Providing legal clarity and peace of mind for clients and their families
