Capital Legacy Wills and Estates Specialists More than 70% of South Africans pass away without a valid Will in place. At home. At the office. At a coffee shop. That’s correct.

Established in 2012, Capital Legacy has grown to become the single largest provider of Wills in the country with more than 500 000 clients, 10 offices across the country and nearly 1000 staff members. Capital Legacy has drafted more than 500 000 Wills over the past 10 years and are trusted by more than 14 000 financial advisors countrywide. Our goal since inception has been to help more South Africans have valid Wills in place. Capital legacy is on a mission to raise awareness around the importance of having an updated final Will and reducing this statistic across South Africa. Five ways we make it easy for you to get your Will drafted

1. We have more than 200 consultants around the country who can meet you at a time and place convenient for you. We also offer virtual and telephonic consultations.

2. No charge for drafting your Will. We don’t charge you for the consultation or the drafting of your Will.

3. No charge for collecting your signed Will. Our courier service makes sure that your signed Will is safely collected and delivered to us – and we pick up the tab!

4. No charge for keeping your Will in safe custody. We will keep your Will in a secure vault, ensure it is barcoded and easily retrievable – at no cost to you.

5. No charge for making amendments to your Will. We encourage our clients to review their Wills every few years and especially after major life events. We don’t charge you anything to make these changes ensuring your Will remains up to date. We also offer expert solutions and products that address real needs designed to protect families in the event of an unforeseen passing of a loved one. Our Legacy Protection Plan™ (LPP) is a unique and innovative insurance product that accompanies your Will and guards your loved ones’ inheritance against the high legal fees and costs when you pass away. The LPP™ not only covers the fees for Executor, Conveyancing Attorney, Masters Office and Testamentary Trusts, which could amount to hundreds of thousands of Rands, but also provides for cash immediately after death and can be further extended to cover other unforeseen expenses.

Estate readiness matters because research shows that South African families are not prepared for the financial, emotional and administrative impact of losing a loved one.

In 2026, the first Capital Legacy Estate Readiness Index™ revealed a headline national estate readiness score of just 50 out of 100. The findings show that while South Africans are good at preparing for funerals, they are significantly underprepared for the realities that follow a death in the family.

Leaving a legacy matters. But so does making sure your family can keep going while they wait.

The Capital Legacy Estate Readiness Index™ calculates your estate readiness by using three core health scores:

• 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: Measures estate-planning provisions, existence of a valid will, and sufficient accessible cash to cover legal and administrative fees.

• 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: Tracks financial strain in the immediate aftermath of a death in the family, including household disruption, and the time required for a family to recover financially and practically after someone dies.

• 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Evaluates administrative burdens, service experiences during the often long and drawn-out process of winding up the deceased estate, and the gap between expected and actual timelines.
