🚻 DADS - YOU NEED TO HAVE A WILL.

HERE'S WHY:

πŸ“œπŸ“œπŸ“œπŸ“œπŸ“œ

Having a will is not a luxury of the wealthy; in fact, one could argue that middle income earners require the protection of a will more so than their wealthy counterparts.

Should you die without a valid will in place; the winding up of your estate will follow the requirements set in the Intestate Succession Act, thus disregarding any wishes that you may have had regarding the disbursement of your wealth.

πŸ“œπŸ“œπŸ“œπŸ“œπŸ“œ
What about your kids?

Should your heirs be minors, their inheritance will be placed in The Guardians fund to be managed by the state until they are 18 years of age. The surviving spouse may end up receiving a much-reduced share of the inheritance.

πŸ“œπŸ“œπŸ“œπŸ“œπŸ“œ
Did you know...

After all assets are sold, there is a possibility that the surviving spouse may not have sufficient funds to provide for the basic necessities of the household.

Make sure you have the final say, draft a will!

Here are some TIPS FOR NEW DADS to get started on your journey to financial freedom:

Educate yourself
- learn what financial freedom means to you and how to manage money.

Pay off debt
