A valid will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Under the Law of Succession Act (Cap 160), a will must be:
– In writing,
– Signed by the testator (person making it),
– Witnessed by at least two competent adults present simultaneously.
The will should clearly list all assets, liabilities, and beneficiaries. It can also appoint an executor — a trusted person to manage your estate after death.
If circumstances change (e.g., acquiring new property or family changes), update your will promptly. Dying without a will (intestate) can lead to disputes and delays.
At E. Kalulu & Company Advocates, we help you draft, review, and safely store your will, ensuring that your family and property are protected according to your intentions.
