Will Drafting
Every Matla X plan begins with a professionally drafted will — customised to your wishes, testamentary trusts for children where needed, and stored securely for life.
Our story & mission
About Matla X
We believe that building wealth and protecting it are two sides of the same plan — and that every South African deserves to pass on more than they received.
Who we are
Estate planning and wealth creation, as one
Matla X is the wealth and estate division of Matla Life Investment (Pty) Ltd — South Africa's premier estate planning group. While Matla Core handles will drafting and estate administration for every South African, Matla X takes a wider view: growing the wealth that fills a will, and protecting it so it reaches the right hands.
"Matla" means strength in Sesotho. It is the promise we make to every client: that their legacy stands strong, regardless of what comes.
Our commitments to you
- Wills drafted with professional precision — not templates
- Estate planning that considers your full financial picture
- Wealth guidance that creates something worth protecting
