FISA welcomes the National Wills Week initiative which takes place from 14-18 September 2026. It is essential that every adult has a will, and a basic will is certainly better than dying intestate.
A valid will is essential to ensure your estate is distributed according to your wishes and your loved ones are protected after your death. It also allows you to appoint trusted executors and create testamentary trusts where needed.
FISA members are encouraged to participate voluntarily in National Wills Week, on the same basis historically adopted by the Law Society of SA – assisting with the drafting of a basic will free of charge.
At the same time, FISA is of the opinion that proper planning should ideally take place before a will is drafted. Members of the public who wish to take the responsible step of obtaining detailed estate-planning advice before drafting a will can make an appointment with a FISA member, but a consultation fee will then be payable.
