Wills Week – a valuable opportunity to safeguard the future

South Africa’s National Wills Week 2019 takes place from September 16-20 to emphasise the importance of drafting a will as part of a comprehensive estate planning process. Wills Week, which is an annual nationwide initiative, encourages members of the public to visit participating institutions to have their wills drafted at no cost. To help South Africans avoid the consequences of dying without a valid will, Ecsponent Financial Services is supporting National Wills Week by offering helpful estate planning information and a free wills drafting service during the month of September.
