Making a will

Two witnesses are required to witness a person signing his/her will. The witnesses cannot be beneficiaries (persons who benefit) of the will. Besides the two witnesses you also need to appoint trustees (also known as executors) to manage your will. He or she will go to the Court to handle your matters after your death. The will must state what type of property you bequeath and to whom. Any ambiguity or unclear statements will make your will invalid and have no effect at all. So you must get a lawyer to draw up a will for you. If you have made a will long time ago, say before you got married, then you must make a fresh will.
