How it works
Protecting your legacy is easier than you think

Speak to a qualified consultant who listens to your wishes and analyses your estate — at no cost, no obligation.
2

Your family is looked after
If the worst happens, our specialists handle everything — fees, liquidity and full estate administration.
What we do
Everything your estate needs, under one trusted roof
From your very first will to the final transfer of assets to your loved ones, our specialists protect every step of the journey.
Maximum Indemnity Benefit™
Covers the costs that can erode an estate — executor fees (3.5% + VAT), testamentary trust fees and conveyancing — so more reaches your heirs.
Immediate Liquidity™
When bank accounts freeze at death, a fast cash payout covers the funeral, travel, groceries and the urgent costs your family faces right away.
Estate Overheads Protector™
Funds the executor for Master's fees, rates & taxes, medical aid and utilities throughout the 9–12 month estate wind-up.
Beneficiary Care Benefit
Ring-fenced trust funds keep school fees paid and children cared for while the estate is being administered.
Deceased Estate Administration
Full end-to-end administration by in-house specialists, integrated conveyancers and tax practitioners — with an online beneficiary portal.
Why it matters
Without a valid will, the law decides who inherits — not you
If you pass away without a will, the Intestate Succession Act takes over. Your assets are distributed by a formula, your children's inheritance can be handed to the Government's Guardian's Fund, and your family loses control at the worst possible time.
- A custom will drafted around your family and wishes
- Testamentary trusts to protect minor children
- An executor and process you can actually trust
- Free lifetime updates as your life changes
The reality in South Africa
Only 30% of South Africans have a valid will.
That means 7 in 10 families are left to navigate the courts, frozen accounts and uncertainty without clear instructions. A will changes that in an afternoon.
