This evening on Legal Matters, we talk about wills, estate and testamentary trust and how they work. A testamentary trust is a type of trust that is created under the terms of a person’s will and comes into effect after the person’s death. In South Africa, a testamentary trust is a legal arrangement in which a person’s assets are placed into a trust for the benefit of their heirs or beneficiaries. Such trusts offer more control over how and when assets are distributed to beneficiaries. This added flexibility makes estate planning more efficient and personalized. To tell us more about this we’re joined by Claire Thomson, Specialist Family Law Practitioner and Head of the Family Law Department at Witz Inc.
