LEGAL UPDATE: ESTATE RIGHTS FOR UNMARRIED COUPLES

The Supreme Court of Appeal recently reaffirmed that shared life partnerships deserve legal recognition — but not automatically.

In its latest judgment, the SCA held that a cohabiting partner can claim a share in a joint estate or maintenance only if they can prove the existence of a universal partnership.

What does this mean?
If you’ve built a life together — shared a home, finances, and responsibilities — you may have rights similar to those of married couples only if it can be shown that you both intended to share in each other’s property and earnings.

Protect yourself:
A Cohabitation Agreement remains the best safeguard.
It clearly records your joint financial arrangements, property ownership, and what happens if the relationship ends or one partner passes away.

Don’t rely on assumptions or verbal promises — put your intentions in writing.
Contact Adrie Wahl Attorneys (018) 0111832 to draft a Cohabitation Agreement that gives your partnership legal certainty and peace of mind.

⚖️ What Happens If You Die Without a Will?

If you pass away without a valid Last Will and Testament, especially if you have children under 18, you lose the right to decide:

✔️ Who inherits what
✔️ Who will look after your children
✔️ Who controls their inheritance

Without a testamentary trust in place, your children's inheritance is paid into the Guardian’s Fund – a government-controlled account – until they turn 18. This can lead to:

❌ Delays in accessing money for school, medical care, or daily needs
❌ No say in who manages their money
❌ Risk of funds being eroded or not used as you intended

🖋️ Take control of your legacy today.

At Adrie Wahl Attorneys, we help you plan with care and precision.

✅ Last Will & Testament
✅ Living Will
✅ Testamentary Trusts for Minor Children
✅ Professional, compassionate legal guidance
