Question 1
Complete

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00




Wanda was a successful businesswoman who owned a house and several other assets. She was married to Steven, who is
currently unemployed. They had two daughters, Bea and Carla. Wanda was diagnosed with cancer and shortly thereafter she
approached ABC Trust and Wills to draw up a will for her.


She completed a form with the heading, “Instructions to draft a will” and indicated on the form that her estate must go to her
daughters. After this visit to the trust company, her health deteriorated suddenly. She died two weeks later without having
completed any further documents.


The legal position is as follows:


Select one:
a. The form that she filled in at ABC Trust is not a valid will as it only contains instructions to draw up a will and as such
it cannot be condoned in terms of section 2(3) of the Wills Act 7 of 1953 because it was not her intention that it
should be her will.
b. The form that she filled in at ABC Trust is not a valid will as it only contains instructions to draw up a will, but it can
be condoned in terms of section 2(3) of the Wills Act 7 of 1953 because she personally drafted the instructions.
c. The form that she filled in at ABC Trust is not a valid will as it only contains instructions to draw up a will, but it can
be condoned in terms of section 2(3) of the Wills Act 7 of 1953 because she had signed it.
d. The form that she filled in at ABC Trust and Wills is a valid will because it contains her intention about the division of
her estate.

grandchildren mentioned previously. His estate amounts to R600 000. How much will each beneficiary inherit?


Select one:
a. Wendy will inherit R200 000; Ben will inherit R200 000 and Deon and Ethel will each inherit R100 000.
b. Wendy will inherit R250 00, Ben will inherit R175 000 and Deon and Ethel will each inherit R87 500.
c. Wendy will inherit R400 000, Ben will inherit R100 000 and Deon and Ethel will each inherit R50 000.

, Question 3

Complete

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00




In King v De Jager 2021 (4) SA 1 (CC) it was held that:


Select one:
a. A testator may discriminate against descendants unknown to him or her on the grounds of gender because a will
does not involve the public sphere.

b. Freedom of testation is not protected by the Constitution because it does not accord with public policy.

c. A court may not refuse to enforce discriminatory testamentary provisions because that will amount to an arbitrary
deprivation of freedom of testation.

d. Discrimination by a testator against descendants purely on the grounds of gender can never accord with public
policy.
