Show Notes

Stephen Grootes speaks to Sharon Hamman, senior legal adviser at Momentum, about the complexities of estate planning and the risks associated with drafting a will without professional guidance. In the South African context, a will must meet strict legal requirements, but more importantly, it must be practically executable, ensuring there is sufficient liquidity to cover debts, taxes, and administration costs. Without proper structuring, estates can be exposed to unintended consequences such as assets being sold to meet tax liabilities, disputes among beneficiaries, or distributions that don’t align with the testator’s wishes under intestate succession rules.
