We plan holidays, careers, weddings, birthdays and retirement but there is another piece of life admin that deserves our attention too… making sure our Will is actually sorted.

 

South Africa (16 September 2026) – September is Will’s Month in South Africa, which means this is your annual reminder to do the thing most of us would really rather not think about.

Whether you’ve never written a Will or yours hasn’t been looked at since flip phones were cool (the first time round), now might be a very good time to sort it out.

Nobody wants to think about not being here anymore and it is probably why so many of us keep pushing this particular bit of life admin further down the list. But having an up-to-date Will is incredibly important, not necessarily for you, but for the people you love and leave behind. And that is exactly what we got into on this week’s “Good Things with Brent Lindeque” poddie, when I sat down with Grant Fietze from Capital Legacy to talk about wills, estates, the mistakes we often make and why getting your affairs in order doesn’t need to be nearly as intimidating as we make it out to be.

Capital Legacy is one of South Africa’s leading wills and estates specialists, and since being founded in 2012 with a team of just four people, the company has grown into a national business employing around 2,000 people. Along the way, they have drafted more than 1.6 million wills while helping make estate planning simpler and more accessible to South Africans.

Their work spans wills, estate planning, deceased estate administration, trusts and the Legacy Protection Plan, but our conversation goes much further than paperwork. Grant explains why your Will matters, what you should be thinking about and why this is one of those things you really shouldn’t keep putting off until “one day”.
