Minister Kubayi launches National Free Wills week
Minister Kubayi says they are encouraging South Africans to draft wills.
Justice and Constitutional Development Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi inaugurated the National Free Wills Week in Ockley, Bushbuckridge, Mpumalanga. The government, collaborating with the Law Society of South Africa, is providing will drafting services to the public at no cost.
National Wills Week inauguration took place in Bushbuckridge, Limpopo, to heighten awareness about the significance of estate planning and aid disadvantaged communities with will drafting. Minister Kubayi urged South Africans to create wills to avert disputes upon the demise of their loved ones. Kubayi stated, "People can visit our master's offices nationwide and designated courts in various areas, where they can obtain their wills.
The importance of wills lies in avoiding conflicts when somebody has passed away. I say this because we are reaching out to rural communities, as in traditional communities and rural areas, it is a taboo topic to discuss wills, the passing of someone and what they leave for whom."
