We capture your wishes through this questionnaire, our fiduciary team reviews and drafts the clauses that apply to your circumstances, and you receive a properly structured will — ready to review, on the firm's letterhead. Drafting is consistent every time, and typically far quicker than a manual redraft.
We draft your will free of charge — there is no cost to you for completing this questionnaire or for us preparing your will.
Everything else on this questionnaire — your executor, beneficiaries and bequests, guardianship of minor children, a testamentary trust for minors, survivorship period, burial wishes, and any Islamic Law or collation clauses — is tailored to what you tell us here.
An executor is the person or firm legally responsible for winding up your estate after you pass away — reporting to the Master of the High Court, gathering and valuing your assets, settling your debts, and distributing what remains according to your will.
When you nominate GH Legacy (Pty) Ltd — represented by Douw Gerbrand Gildenhuys — as executor, our Deceased Estates Administration team handles the process directly:
You're welcome to nominate a family member or another professional instead — simply select "Nominate a specific person" for the primary executor and/or substitute above.
On executor / estate administration costs: these can only be determined at the time of death, based on the value of the estate at that time — not upfront, and not as part of this questionnaire. Drafting your will itself remains free of charge regardless of who you nominate as executor.
