Wills Forever, a forward-thinking organisation dedicated to estate planning and will preparation, is on a mission to educate and empower South Africans, particularly in black communities. The organisation was founded out of concern over the frequent stories seen on TV channels like Moja Love and Mzansi, where families face conflict and lose homes after a loved one passes due to the absence of a proper will. Wills Forever aims to change this narrative and address the stigma that black South Africans are uneducated about wills and estate planning.

The Importance of a Will for Everyone, Everywhere

Wills Forever seeks to reach those who are often overlooked in estate planning, like mothers, grandmothers, and other vulnerable groups. With National Wills Week now upon us, there is no better time to start the conversation.

"Our goal is to provide a simple, accessible product that protects people and their loved ones, especially in unexpected circumstances. Too often, people think estate planning is only for the wealthy, but that couldn’t be further from the truth," says Kabelo Mathopo, founder and CEO of Wills Forever. "Everyone deserves peace of mind, knowing their assets and loved ones will be cared for."

Topics for Discussion: Educating and Empowering

Wills Forever provides a platform to discuss crucial topics, including:

1. What happens if you pass away without a will?
   The legal complications can leave loved ones unprotected.

2. Are wills really free as advertised?
   Clarifying the misconception around "free wills."

3. Burial clauses to prevent family disputes
   Including burial wishes in your will can avoid disagreements.

4. Family homes and inheritance conflicts
   Wills can ensure family homes stay within the family.

5. Inheritance exclusion clauses
   Protect your assets from being lost through marriages.

6. Can you have a will even if you don’t own much?
   Estate planning isn’t only for those with substantial assets.

7. Cohabiting relationships
   Without a will, individuals in informal relationships may not inherit.

8. The privacy of a will and including extramarital children
   A will allows for privacy in distributing assets to extended family.

Changing the Narrative

"We aim to break the cycle of misinformation and provide the tools needed for effective estate planning," adds Kabelo. "It’s not just about paperwork; it’s about securing a future for your family and avoiding heartbreak and conflict."

Wills Forever believes that by offering these essential services and resources, they can empower black South Africans and remove the stigma of being unprepared for estate planning.
