The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development has called on members of the public to participate in National Wills Week.

The aim of the initiative is to educate the public about the importance of drafting a will. During the week, the public will be supported to draft wills for free.

The department will set up help desks in various communities to make these services accessible.
“The initiative is a joint venture of the six constituent members of the Law Society of South Africa (LSSA), which include the Cape Law Society, Law Society of the Free State, KwaZulu-Natal Law Society, Law Society of the Northern Provinces, Legal Aid SA, Black Lawyers Association and the National Association of Democratic Lawyers.

“The department views the participation of the legal fraternity in National Wills Week as a demonstration of the collective commitment to empower communities to exercise their constitutional rights,” the department said.
