Welcome to Kruger & Moeletsi Law and Legal Firm
We all need to plan for the unexpected events that tomorrow might bring. None of us know what is hiding behind the next bend in life, and being without a will could result in your family suffering with more than just the immense grief of your passing. While leaving our material wealth behind is something that none of us can avoid, we do have a say over what must happen to the possessions and wealth that we have accumulated during our lifetime. Nelspruit attorneys can help you get your will and/or trust in order.
What is a will?
A term that you might well be familiar with, a will is a legal document that bears the name of the person who you have selected to manage your estate after your death as well as your final wishes.
The term will and the term testament has been used interchangeably in the past. A will states who will inherit your wealth and property after your passing, with the person you have selected to manage your final affairs making sure that those who have been selected to inherit your property or acquire the wealth get it.
Know the difference between a will and a trust
A will and a trust are to different documents that can work together perfectly to give you a complete estate plan to ensure that what you leave behind after death is taken care of, or distributed, in the way that you want it to be.
These are the differences between a will and a trust that you need to know:
· Your will can become a part of the public record which means that anyone can have a look at it. A trust will remain private.
Nelspruit attorneys will know which final legal document will work best for you and you should consider consulting with an attorney so that you have all of your affairs in order. By getting your will, or trust, organised there will be less to stress about in your later years.
