Wills & Estate Planning

Estate planning in South Africa is shaped by the Wills Act 7 of 1953, the Administration of Estates Act 66 of 1965, and matrimonial property regimes under the Matrimonial Property Act 88 of 1984. As at 2026, formal wills must meet witnessing and signature rules; cross-check any recent regulatory or Master's Office practice notes.
