Will & Testament
Leave your estate in good hands.
A will and testament is a legal document that outlines how a person’s assets and estate will be distributed after their passing. For clients with a mortgage or Immovable property, having an up-to-date will is crucial to ensure that their loved ones are taken care of, and their property matters are handled smoothly.

What Happens if you don’t have a will?
Without a will, your estate will be subject to the rules of intestate succession, meaning the Intestate succession Act determines how your assets are distributed based on standard legal principles, which may not align with your wishes.
  • Delays in accessing the property or proceeds from the estate.
  • If your children are minors, any funds they receive will be deposited into the Guardians Fund owned by Government and administered by them.
  • Family conflicts over asset distribution as distant family members may inherit and replace the intended beneficiaries.
  • If minor children are involved, the court will appoint a guardian, which may not align with your intentions.
  • Risk of Forced Sale: In the absence of clear instructions, your beneficiaries might need to sell the property to settle debts, or the mortgage bond registered over the Immovable property.
