14 - 18 September is National Wills Week in South Africa.

It is an annual initiative that encourages South Africans to draft or update their wills and ensure their loved ones are protected. During this week, participating attorneys offer free basic will-drafting services, making it easier for everyone to put their affairs in order.

Having a valid will ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, helps prevent family disputes, and can save your loved ones unnecessary stress, delays, and costs during an already difficult time.

Without a will, your estate is distributed according to the laws of intestate succession, which may not reflect your personal wishes. National Wills Week serves as an important reminder that a will is not just for the wealthy, but for anyone who wants to protect their family, secure their legacy, and gain peace of mind.

Contact us today to secure an appointment. Limited availability.

We’ve been helping families get it right since 1971. Let’s make sure your wishes are followed - properly.

Dit is Nasionale Testamentweek van 14–18 September. Dis 'n diens wat jaarliks gratis aangebied word, net vir die week.

Om ’n testament op te stel is dalk nie op enigiemand se emmerskoplys nie, maar om een te hê is een van die vriendelikste geskenke wat jy aan jou familie kan nalaat.
’n Testament gee jou inspraak in wat met jou boedel gebeur, en help om ’n moeilike tyd ’n bietjie makliker te maak vir dié wat jy agterlaat.
Kontak ons vandag – skakel of WhatsApp - vir jou afspraak en laat ons jou help om hierdie belangrike taak van jou lys af te merk.
Belangrike dokumente om saam te bring:
1. Jou ID
2. Volle besonderhede van jou begunstigdes

Geen dokumente, geen testament-toorkuns!

Some of the best stories begin with a bold decision.
Today, exactly 55 years ago, Philip Matthee chose to forge his own path, turning uncertainty into opportunity and establishing a legal practice that would become a cornerstone of the Fochville community. Armed with determination, legal expertise, and a commitment to serving people, he opened the doors of what would grow into Matthee Attorneys Inc., laying the foundation for a legacy that continues to thrive today.

Over the years, the firm has become much more than a legal practice. It is a family legacy passed from one generation to the next, with Dawid Matthee and, more recently, Karmen Matthee joining the firm and carrying forward the values that have defined it since day one. As we celebrate 55 years of service, we honour the vision of our founder, appreciate the loyalty of our clients, and remain committed to providing approachable, trusted legal support. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey for more than half a century.

To all our clients: THANK YOU!

Of course, this milestone would not have been possible without the remarkable people who helped build Matthee Attorneys Inc. over the past 55 years.
As owner and director, Dawid Matthee would like to extend his sincere gratitude to every staff member, past and present, whose dedication, professionalism, and hard work have contributed to the firm's success. "Our success would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of every staff member who has served Matthee Attorneys over the past 55 years. We salute you."

You’re getting married?
Congratulations! First time or a fabulous sequel??
Excited? ✅😁
Rings sorted? ✅💍
Dress and suit planned? ✅👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️

Antenup… What now?! YES! The antenuptial contract.
What? WHY?

Well, let us tell you why…

In South Africa, if you get married without an antenuptial contract, you’re automatically married in community of property - which means what’s yours is theirs… and what’s theirs is yours (including their debt! 🫪).

By signing an antenuptial contract (also known as an ANC), you can decide upfront:
• How your assets are shared (or not!)
• How debts are handled
• What happens financially if things change
Get yours drafted and signed before your wedding day. Think of it as a plan for protection, not a plan for divorce. Rather make love, not war!

🔥DOUBLE BONUS! 🔥
At Matthee Attorneys we have two Notaries that can assist. And! Draft your ANC with us and get 50% OFF your will! You will thank us later!

Wills 101: Because Guessing Your Wishes Isn’t a Plan!

Let’s be honest - hoping your family will “just figure it out” one day isn’t a solid estate plan.
A valid will ensures your wishes are clear, your loved ones are protected, and no one is left arguing over who gets what.

Did you know?
• Your will must be in writing.
• You must sign every page, in front of two competent witnesses.
• Witnesses (and their spouses) cannot benefit from your will.
• Anyone - 16 years or older- can make a valid will (if mentally capable).
• You should clearly set out who inherits what.
• Make provision for minor beneficiaries and guardianship if needed.
• You must appoint a trusted executor to carry out your wishes.
• Keep your original will safe - copies don’t count!

One more thing: if your will isn’t done correctly, it can cause delays, disputes, or even be declared invalid!

Like and follow us for important legal updates and practical advice that affects your everyday life. We’ve been helping families get it right since 1971!
