Steven, who is currently unemployed. They had two daughters, Bea and Carla. Wanda was diagnosed with
cancer and shortly thereafter she approached ABC Trust and Wills to draw up a will for her.
She completed a form with the heading, “Instructions to draft a will” and indicated on the form that her estate
must go to her daughters. After this visit to the trust company, her health deteriorated suddenly. She died two
weeks later without having completed any further documents.
The legal position is as follows:
Select one:
a.
The form that she filled in at ABC Trust and Wills is a valid will because it contains her intention about the
division of her estate.
b.
The form that she filled in at ABC Trust is not a valid will as it only contains instructions to draw up a will,
but it can be condoned in terms of section 2(3) of the Wills Act 7 of 1953 because she personally drafted the
instructions.
c.
The form that she filled in at ABC Trust is not a valid will as it only contains instructions to draw up a will,
but it can be condoned in terms of section 2(3) of the Wills Act 7 of 1953 because she had signed it.
d.
, The form that she filled in at ABC Trust is not a valid will as it only contains instructions to draw up a will
and as such it cannot be condoned in terms of section 2(3) of the Wills Act 7 of 1953 because it was not her
intention that it should be her will.
