Planning for the future ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. In Ghana, family law and estate planning are governed by both statutory and customary laws.
Why You Need a Will
A valid will ensures your property is distributed fairly and reduces disputes. Without one, your estate may be distributed according to the Intestate Succession Law, 1985 (PNDCL 111).
Other Key Considerations
- Appointing executors and guardians.
- Registering your will with the High Court.
- Understanding marital property rights.
Conclusion
Estate planning is not just for the wealthy—it’s for anyone who wants peace of mind and family harmony. Consult a family lawyer to guide you through the process.
