In this video, Rumana Mahomed and Daniel Marsh explain the difference between testate and intestate succession.
Testate succession means a person dies with a valid will, ensuring their estate is distributed according to their wishes.
Intestate succession applies when there is no valid will, and the law determines who inherits.
A valid will gives you control, reduces disputes, and allows you to appoint an executor and guardian for minor children.
