Eksekuteurs vir Boedels en Testamente Publishes Two New Guides on Complex Wills and Trust Planning for South African Families
Written by: Jayce Casiano Save to Instapaper
Johannesburg and Pretoria, Gauteng — The will and estate specialists help South Africans understand when a simple will is no longer sufficient, and how blended families can protect everyone with the right trust structure.
Eksekuteurs vir Boedels en Testamente has published two new educational articles guiding South Africans through two of the most common, yet often misunderstood, areas of estate planning: upgrading a simple will to a comprehensive one, and using trust structures to protect the interests of blended families.
Many South Africans' lives have changed considerably since they first had their wills drafted. Additional properties, investments, business interests, divorces, remarriage and stepchildren are all factors that can outstrip a simple will's ability to adequately cover an estate. Without proper planning, these gaps can prove costly for beneficiaries.
Upgrading A Simple Will
The first article, From Simple to Comprehensive: When to Upgrade Your Will, identifies the specific signs that indicate a will needs an upgrade. It addresses the impact of multiple properties, existing trusts, international assets, business ownership, divorce and stepchildren on an existing will, and explains why the right executor appointment is just as important as the will itself.
Trust Structures For Blended Families
The second article, How to Provide for Your Spouse Without Reducing Your Children's Inheritance, tackles a concern that affects countless remarried parents. The article explores how usufruct trusts are structured to give a surviving spouse lifelong residence and income rights, whilst preserving capital for children from a previous marriage. It also examines why professional trustee management makes the difference between family harmony and long-term conflict.
Integrated Estate Planning Approach
Both articles emphasise that the process at Eksekuteurs begins with the drafting of the will and the simultaneous appointment of a professional executor and trustee, an integrated approach that ensures there is no disconnect between the plan and its execution.
