You've worked hard to build the life you have. Maybe it's the home you're paying off, the car you finally bought, savings you've built up over time, or simply the life you've created on your own terms with the people you love. Whatever that looks like, it's worth asking: if something happened to you tomorrow, would the people you care about know what you wanted? That's where a will comes in. But here's the part many people miss: writing your wishes down and calling the document a will doesn't automatically

Most of us have a pretty clear idea of who we'd want to inherit from us one day. Perhaps a partner, your children, or even a parent or someone else who has always been part of your life. But if you die without a valid will, the law doesn't ask what you would have wanted. Instead, the Intestate Succession Act decides who is legally entitled to inherit from your estate and how much they receive. There's a specific formula, an order of inheritance and, sometimes, an outcome that looks very different from the one you

We spend a lot of time planning the life we're building. From the home we want to buy, to the people we love and the future we're working towards. A will is part of that plan too. It's how we make sure the people and things that matter to us are looked after in the way we intended. But, if you die without a valid will, your wishes don't automatically count. Instead, South African law decides who inherits from your estate and how much they receive. It's called intestate succession, and it follows a set formula rather than what you might have

South Africans don't need much convincing that having a will is a good idea. Getting around to writing one is another story. Our 2026 research found that 67% of South Africans don't have a will, even though 77% believe having one is important - no matter how much or how little they own. The gap got us wondering: if we already know a will matters, what's actually stopping us? So we asked 1800 South Africans across all 9

Most of us want the freedom do life our way - to plan ahead, make confident decisions, and build the life we want.

But there’s one area we rarely stop to think about: our legal wellness.

“Not all heroes wear capes” is undoubtedly a phrase you’ve come across at some point. Of course, it speaks to the everyday person who recognised an injustice, stood up and decided to take action. This is incredibly powerful when the person who needs help cannot necessarily do anything about their circumstances themselves. Yes, everyday heroes exist, and they are essential when it comes to identifying and reporting possible child abuse in South Africa. Sadly,

We all want to build a successful career and thrive in the workplace, right? The office is meant to be a place where everyone should be able to put their best foot forward and excel in the profession they chose. And that’s certainly possible in an environment that’s inspiriting and free of unnecessary obstacles. However, that’s not always the case. We often see the “mean boss” stereotype play out in movies, and it is usually set up as an obstacle for the new fish-out-of-water employee to conquer, win over and co-exist peacefully with. Everyone wins in the end, right? But this isn’t
