Freedom of testation recognizes and respects personal desires and wishes as to how your assets are to be distributed upon your death. The Court, in Harvey NO and Others v Crawford NO and Others [2019 (2) SA 153 (SCA)] referred to the principle of freedom of testation as follows:

‘The right of ownership permits an owner to do with her thing as she pleases, provided that it is permitted by the law. The right to dispose of the thing is central to the concept of ownership and is a deeply entrenched principle of our common law. Disposing of one’s property by means of executing a will or trust deed are manifestations of the right of ownership. The same holds true under the Constitution.’

“Not having a will can have detrimental and far-reaching consequences for dependants, whether minor children, a spouse or family members,” Felicia Hlophe, legal adviser at Allan Gray, says.

“If you die without a valid will, your assets will be distributed according to the Intestate Succession Act. This may result in your assets being inherited by people other than those you would like to leave those assets to. The winding up of your estate could also take longer and cost more,” Hlope says.

The following words of Judge Cameron in the Land and Agricultural Development Bank of SA and Others v Parker [2004] 4 All SA 261 (SCA) remains of utmost importance in the context of any trust:

” The core idea of the trust is the separation of ownership (or control) from enjoyment… the central notion is that the person entrusted with control exercises it on behalf of and in the interests of another… It may be said… that the English law trust, and the trust-like institutions of the Roman and Roman’-Dutch law, were designed essentially to protect the weak and to safeguard the interests of those who are absent or dead. This guiding principle provided the foundation for this court’s major decisions over the past century in which the trust form has been adapted to South African law: that the trustee is appointed and accepts office to exercise fiduciary responsibility over property on behalf of and in the interests of another. The essential notion of trust law, from which the further development of the trust form must proceed, is that enjoyment and control should be functionally separate. The duties imposed on trustees and the standard of care exacted on them, derive from this principle.”

The same is the position in Botswana

“A Living Will is an advanced directive that states that if at anytime a person suffers from an incurable disease or injury which cannot be successfully treated, life-sustaining treatment should be withheld and the patient left to die naturally. ” See Mcquoid-Mason 2005:25
