Wills & Estates

Making a Will preserves the interests of a testator’s kith and kin and it ensures that loved ones are adequately protected and catered for during his/her lifetime; avoiding unnecessary hassles that may arise upon the demise of the testator. A Will is a legal document through which an individual (the Testator) declares how he/she would like his/her assets to be shared and distributed amongst selected persons when he/she dies. The individuals designated to receive any of the assets of a Testator is called a “beneficiary”.
