Enkel testament vs Gesamentlike testament

12 May 2025

Wanneer iemand sy boedel wil beplan, kan hy kies tussen 'n enkel testament of 'n gesamentlike testament, afhangend van persoonlike... behoeftes en voorkeur. ’n Enkel testament gee die testateur volledige beheer oor hoe hul boedel verdeel word, met die vryheid om dit te wysig sonder enige derde party se toestemming. Dit is ideaal vir individue met afsonderlike finansiële belange of komplekse gesinsstrukture. ’n Gesamentlike testament, wat dikwels deur eggenote opgestel word, stel duidelike reëls vir die verspreiding van gesamentlike bates—eers aan die oorlewende gade en dan aan die gekose begunstigdes. Dit is ’n gewilde opsie vir paartjies met gesamentlike finansiële belange en ’n langtermyn-erfenisplan. Die keuse tussen die twee hang af van hoe onafhanklik of gesamentlik die boedelbeplanning moet wees, met die belangrikste faktor dat die dokument geldig en duidelik opgestel is om toekomstige verwarring te voorkom.

KODISIL vs WYSIGING VAN 'N TESTAMENT

12 May 2025

’n Kodisil is ’n regsdokument wat wysigings of aanvullings aan ’n bestaande testament maak sonder om die hele testament te... herroep. Dit bied ’n kostedoeltreffende manier om begunstigdes, eksekuteurs of spesifieke bemakings op te dateer. Om geldig te wees, moet dit skriftelik wees, deur die testateur onderteken word en deur twee bevoegde getuies bekragtig word. Alternatief kan die testateur direkte wysigings op die oorspronklike testament aanbring, maar dit verg duidelike aanduiding, getuies se handtekeninge en presiese bewoording om verwarring en regsgeldigheid te verseker. ’n Kodisil of ’n nuwe testament word gewoonlik aanbeveel om enige toekomstige dispuut te vermy.
