Question 3:
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 and Wills is a valid will because it contains
her intention about the division of her estate.
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 personally drafted the instructions.
d. 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.
