Overview
What you will study
Estate and financial planning is not a once-off process and in most instances the scope of the planning will lie somewhere between the elementary and the comprehensive, depending on the size and the complexity of the planning that has to be done. An estate and financial plan has to incorporate not only the needs and preferences of the estate owner, but also the existing law, tax legislation and economic factors. All these factors have a bearing on each subsequent step in the process.
The Estate planning and wills course offered by University of Cape Town will illuminate the law and how these legal principles apply in practice, by means of a case study.
