3.1 Sources of testamentary succession

• Primary Legislation:
- The Wills Act 7 of 1954 (1 January 1954) as amended by the Law of Succession Amendment Act of
1992 (1 October 1992).
- All of the amendments in the Wills Act apply to persons who died on or after the 1st of October
1992. Therefore, we must consider the most relevant law, which is the amended Wills Act.

- Formalities (S 2(1)(a))
- Condonation (S 2(3))
- Revocation (S 2A)
- Divorce or annulment (S 2(B)
- Renunciation (S 2(C))
- Interpretation (S 2D)

Section 3: Conflicts of law *Not NB for this course

Section 4: Competency to make a will

- Competency to witness a will (S 4A)
