Where is your will? Does anyone know which policies you hold? And who will help your family with the paperwork when you pass away?
Estate planning starts with these practical questions. Organising your documents and financial information helps the people who will one day administer your deceased estate.
The ASISA Foundation’s WageWise programme explains in its September 2026 article, “Estate planning in 5 simple steps”, that estate planning matters to ordinary households with assets and debts.
Organise your will and financial documents
WageWise recommends listing your assets and debts, having a valid will and checking your nominated beneficiaries regularly.
Keep important documents secure and tell a trusted person where to find them. Review your arrangements after changes such as marriage, divorce or the birth of a child.
Where do deceased estate notices fit in?
After a death, the deceased estate must be administered. Publishing statutory deceased estate notices forms part of this process.
Legal Notice Publishing helps executors, attorneys and estate administrators arrange the publication of these notices.
