It’s a good time of year

The early part of a new year is a good time to review our ‘affairs’ to ensure that they are all in order and up to date.

Your Will is one of the most important documents that you should review, because it’s remarkable how aspects of life can change which may impact on the decisions contained in your Will.

Any far-reaching changes should be made with the guidance of an attorney or trusted financial advisor. But some additions can be made simply by adding a codicil.

For instance, should you, at any time, decide to continue your support of The Salvation Army beyond your lifetime with a bequest, a codicil would put that in place.

When thinking about your Will

For all of us, a time will come when we no longer need our assets to provide for ourselves. And this is the reason to have a Will, so that we can continue to care about others. Our loved ones are our first concern.  And if there’s something to spare, continuing to support a charity… Continue Reading

Dropping in on the Joseph Baynes Child and Youth Care Centre

This Pietermaritzburg Care Centre is already filled with the warmth of love, but some extra warmth was recently delivered in the form of beautifully hand-knitted jerseys and beanies. These were lovingly made gifts from the ‘knitting ladies’ at the Riverside Manor Retirement Estate and Bryanston Sports Club Bowls Section.  And all the items were received… Continue Reading
