Traditional estate planning costs R45,000 to R150,000 through a lawyer or financial advisor. We've built a different model. No upfront fees. No complicated process.

One guided conversation. Drafted in 48 hours. No upfront fees.

Estate planning

Draft my free will It takes one conversation and 48 hours.

Most people plan to sort it out eventually.

The problem is, eventually doesn't have a date. When an estate has no valid will, your family doesn't just grieve. They spend months dealing with estate administration through the Master's Office, paying executor fees, conveyancing fees, and estate taxes.

Assets get frozen. Properties can sell under pressure. Business interests lose value. Guardianship of your children gets decided by a court, not by you.

What you get

Here's exactly what's included, starting with a free will.

A will gives clear instructions. Protection plans, trusts, and estate administration make sure those instructions hold up when your family needs them most.

Will drafting, free, always.

Not a template. Not a form you fill in alone. A real will, drafted by a qualified professional, covering who receives your assets, who raises your children, and how family conflict gets prevented before it starts.

"My situation isn't complicated enough yet."
