What is National Wills Month in South Africa?

National Wills Month is an annual September observance in South Africa that highlights the importance of having a valid Will. National Wills Week runs from 14–18 September 2026. An estimated 70% to 80% of South Africans die without a valid Will causing inheritance delays, added costs and family disputes.

When considering how to draft a Will in South Africa, it’s essential to ensure it can be put into action. An executable Will, supported by a robust Estate Plan, helps ensure your wishes are carried out, your beneficiaries are protected and there are funds to cover the often-overlooked estate costs, taxes and liabilities - a reality many families discover when it’s too late.

Our aim at Momentum Trust is to provide you with an executable Will that meets your unique needs. We can help you draft an executable Will backed by an Estate Plan, where the Will drafting service is included at no extra cost.

  1. Starting your working career.
  2. A change in marital status - getting married or divorced.
  3. A change in your assets, such as purchasing a home.
  4. The addition of new family members, including the birth or adoption of a child.
