Zwane died intestate on 26 November 2021 and is survived by his wife Dudu to whom he
was married according to Customary Law in 2011. They did not enter into an antenuptial
contract and were married in community of property. At the time of Zwane’s death, Dudu
was seven months pregnant with Zwane’s child, who they planned to call Bongani. Zwane
is also survived by the following relatives:
(i) His son Joshua who renounced his rights to inherit;
(ii) His father Solly;
(iii) His younger sister Rose.
The joint estate is worth R900 000.00 (Nine Hundred Thousand Rand).
How will Zwane’s estate devolve?
Question 2 (10 Marks)
Rocky committed suicide on 21 February 2019. He left a one-page letter in which he wrote
that he revokes all previous wills and leaves all his possessions to his two children from
his first marriage, Steve and Doris. This letter is only signed by Rocky. It appears that he
executed a valid will in 2013 in which he left all his possessions to his second wife and
nothing to his children.
Advise Steve and Doris if the letter that Rocky left behind is a valid will as well as on any
course of action available to them in order for them to inherit from their father’s estate.
