Meet Mandy.

Mandy's mother always made sure her children were provided for, and knew the risks early enough to take out a sturdy life policy.

Sadly...

Mandy lost her mother at 16 - fortunately with the proceeds from her mom's life insurance, she and her sisters were able to settle debts and continue to live their life.

And now...

Mandy is always told she is just like her mom, and just like her mom she took out a MyCover™ life policy with us for less than R 400 per month to make sure her family is protected like she was.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get MyCover™ without a Legacy Protection Plan™?

No, you cannot get MyCover™ as a standalone life cover product. MyCover™ is offered as an extender benefit of the Legacy Protection Plan™ as we harness our unique approach of indemnification of fees and integration of benefits.

Does my SA will cover my UK assets?

Yes, a worldwide will works very well if you live in South Africa but have assets in a country with similar heirship laws to our own, such as the UK. Like South Africa, the UK has freedom of testation. It’s important to have appropriate wills drafted to suitably protect your estate and heirs. You can either have multiple wills for each jurisdiction that you have assets in, or you can draft a worldwide will to cover assets in different countries that have the same inheritance laws as SA. While certain countries follow the same rights of inheritance that South Africa recognises, there are others that are vastly different. However, a worldwide will or an offshore will can protect your estate if you’re intending to relocate or if you’re thinking of buying property abroad.


How does accelerator payment affect MyCover™?

MyAbility Cover™ forms a part of your total MyCover™ value. If you claim against your MyAbility Cover™ benefit it will automatically reduce your total MyCover™ value by the amount that you have claimed. Once you have claimed against your MyAbility Cover™ benefit, you cannot top up your cover to the original value.


Can adopted children, stepchildren and illegitimate children inherit?

No, they do not qualify as heirs in terms of an Islamic will. However, they can be allocated a bequest (Wassiyah) in an Islamic will, provided that it does not exceed one-third of the value of the estate. Alternatively, they can be nominated as beneficiaries of the MyCover™ extender on the Tazkiya™ Family Takaful. It is important to remember though, that an illegitimate child will inherit from his/her biological mother.


Can minor children be beneficiaries of life cover?

Technically, yes. However, this is not best practice, as your minor children’s finances still fall under the curatorship of their guardian. If you have minor children you should consider the use of a testamentary trust as a vehicle to protect their inheritance.


Who must be covered in a last will and testament?

The importance of having a valid will in place cannot be overstated. A carefully crafted will allows you to secure your family’s future, protect your assets and wishes, and plan for the unexpected. However, understanding who must be covered in a will involves careful consideration of legal requirements and familial relationships.When drafting your will, it’s essential to be specific about who you want to bequeath your assets to. Failing to be specific can lead to confusion and legal battles.For example, if you simply state that you want your assets to be distributed among your children, this could cause problems if you have stepchildren. Similarly, if you have specific wishes for how your assets should be distributed, such as a charity you want to support, you need to be clear about this in your will.So, who exactly must be covered in a will?Immediate family membersIt is important to secure your family’s future when setting up your will. The primary beneficiaries, therefore, are typically immediate family members, including spouses, kids, and parents. Specifying the spouse’s share in the will can prevent future disputes. Kids are crucial beneficiaries who must be covered in a will. It’s important to note that you may not disinherit minor kids. Their well-being is always put first as far as last wills and testaments are concerned. Parents may also be included if they are financially dependent on you.Extended family membersExtended family members, such as siblings, grandparents and cousins, can be included in a will if you wish to allocate assets to them. It is essential to explicitly state their inclusion and the detailed distribution to protect your assets and to avoid infighting among relatives.Guardianship of minor childrenOne of the most important people who must be covered in a will is the guardian of minor kids. This nomination ensures that your wishes regarding the care and upbringing of your kids are honoured upon your passing. If you have minors, you will need to carefully consider who will be responsible for caring for them and their assets if you pass away.Charitable organisationsLeaving a portion of your estate to charitable organisations or causes can be a fulfilling way to leave a positive impact beyond your lifetime. Many people choose to support charities or community initiatives through their wills, aligning their legacy with their humanitarian ideals.Executor and trusteesOne crucial aspect of setting up a will is appointing an executor and trustees to protect your assets and carry out your wishes efficiently. The executor oversees the administration of the estate, while trustees may be assigned to manage trusts created for beneficiaries.Alternate beneficiariesTo plan for the unexpected, it’s vital to name alternate beneficiaries in your will. If a primary beneficiary predeceases the testator or is unable to inherit, the alternate beneficiary will assume that role.Knowing who must be covered in a will involves carefully considering all aspects of your life and relationships. As the wills people, it makes sense for Capital Legacy to draft your last will and testament and be your executor.For more information or to arrange your complimentary will consultation, speak to your financial advisor or contact Capital Legacy.

I recommend Capital Legacy based on their representation, vast competencies, follow-through abilities and general customer service.
