Estates - Minors, Spouses & Exes
Show Notes

Blended families with yours, mine & ours have become the norm. This however holds it's own unique challenges when it comes to deceased estates.
 
South African law upholds the principle of freedom of testation. But what happens when the testator forgot to make provision in his will for a child or a spouse’s maintenance after the testator’s death?

In this episode I look at the rights of minors, spouses and exes.

  • Claims by children of the deceased
  • Claims by spouses
  • Exes and maintenance claims
  • Exes and your will
