In short, video Wills are not deemed legally valid under South African law. For a Will to be valid and accepted by the Master of the High Court, it must comply with the requirements as set out in section 2 of the Wills Act 7 of 1953. These requirements include: 1. The Will must be signed on the last page by the Testator/Testatrix. If the person is unable to sign, they may make a “mark” or use a thumbprint. In such cases, however, a Commissioner of Oaths must be present to verify the “mark” of the Testator/Testatrix. 2. If the Will consists of more than one page, each and every page must be signed by the Testator/Testatrix, and which signature is made in the presence of two or more competent witnesses, who cannot be beneficiaries in terms of the Will. 3. Both witnesses must attest to and sign the Will in the presence of the Testator/Testatrix and each other. Where the Will is signed by means of a “mark”, it must also be signed by all parties in the presence of the Commissioner of Oaths. It is therefore of paramount importance that you ensure that you not only have a written will in place, but that it complies with all statutory requirements.

#LawyersofLinkedIn, In this Middlesex Law Association (MLA) seminar, Sean Miller and Samantha Gordon provide a detailed examination of Anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) proceedings and Partial Settlement Agreements. Sean Miller provides strategies for defending against SLAPP actions, emphasizing their role in limiting free speech on matters of public interest. He breaks down the legal tests involved, covering the threshold burden, merits-based hurdle, and public interest hurdle. Sean Miller presents statistics on motions and appeals, notes that Anti-SLAPP motions are often costly, and addresses the significant judicial discretion in determining what constitutes a matter of public interest. Samantha Gordon discusses partial settlement agreements, and the obligation of immediate disclosure in multi-party litigation. She outlines the legal precedents that established this rule, and explains the aspects of Mary Carter and Pierringer Agreements. Samantha Gordon stresses the importance of prompt and forthright disclosure, explaining that failure to disclose immediately can result in a permanent stay of proceedings. The speaker underscores the need for immediate disclosure of both the existence and relevant terms of settlement agreements, and advises bringing a motion for directions if there is any uncertainty regarding the disclosure obligation.
