Study Unit 6
- S 2(1)(a) and s 2(1)(b) of the Wills Act 7 of 1953
- non-compliance with the execution formalities = will invalid
- non-compliance with amendment formalities = amendment
invalid
- results in the disregard of testators’ wishes
, - S 2(3) provides for the rescue of a will (or amendment) in order to
preserve a testator’s wishes
- Occurs even though non-compliance occurred with one or more of
the formalities
Treatment of wills after testator’s death
- Will must be given to the relevant Master of the High Court
(Administration of Estates Act 66 of 1965)
- The Master will check that it complies with all the execution
formalities of s 2(1)(a) and/or s 2(1)(b) of the Wills Act
- if all is in order, the Master will accept the will for the
administration of the deceased’s estate (in terms of the
Administration of Estates Act)
- if the Master is not satisfied, he will reject the will or an
amendment
- If someone wishes to challenge the Master’s decision to reject
the will, that person will have to bring an application to the High
Court
- If the court agrees with the Master, it will declare the will or
amendment invalid
- S 2(3) of the Wills Act now empowers the High Court to issue an
order to the Master not to reject a will (or amendment), but
instead to accept that will to administer the deceased’s estate
S2(3) Requirements
- 1. there must be a document before the court
- must be a written document of the paper variety
