The Relebogile Mabotja Podcast #30 – What Happens When You Die Without a Will?
Description
It’s National Wills Week, and I had the privilege of sitting down with Advocate Sankie Morata from Sanlam Trust (Legal/Fiduciary) and Behavioural Science Specialist Dr. Mavis Mazhura.We had an honest conversation about what really happens when a loved one passes away without a will. Together, we unpacked the 2025 Sanlam Legacy Wills Survey Report, which reveals the sobering reality that nearly 60% of South Africans still do not have wills.The discussion also highlighted what makes a will valid and, most importantly, the fact that a will is about so much more than death. It’s about protecting your loved ones, your legacy, and your peace of mind — because the consequences of dying without a will are often underestimated.I hope you find this episode insightful, eye-opening, and a reminder of the importance of planning for the future.This episode is brought to you by Sanlam Legacy.If you’d like to draft your will or learn more, visit this link: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.sanlamonline.co.za/financialplanning/wills-trusts-estates/wills?utm_source=paid_social&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=wills_social_legacy&utm_id=podcast&utm_term=wills_influe_podcast&utm_content=influencer_relebogile__;!!OrxsNty6D4my!9tj_5V1T61FMXTcfIcc1FII5hZlbnMigrbgwO-xbO8UsYqQIMjB43-tVo5U3lfY75LPpGan2uddjdqgmcmGX0_w4-Ugigw$#RelebogilePod Connect with us on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576572680415Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/relebogilepod/X: https://x.com/RelebogilePodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@relebogilepod?lang=enThreads: https://www.threads.com/@relebogilepod?hl=enBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/relebogilepod.bsky.socialPinterest: https://pin.it/6oLzitfKi
