- You can incorporate estate planning
- You can protect the bequeathed assets, eg. testamentary trust for minors, insolvent beneficiaries
- You can nominate a guardian for your minor children
- You can incorporate your documents in safe custody, free of preferred funeral plans
- Complications in finalising offshore estates could arise should your Will not be drafted in accordance with the laws of the respective country
- Should you die without a Will, the Law of Intestate Succession will govern how your assets are to be distributed. This could mean that people whom you did not want to inherit from you, could inherit. A further delay, in proceeding with the administration of the Estate could arise from the appointment of an Executor who may have to provide security to the Master of the High Court
