The deadline for attorneys wishing to participate in this year’s National Wills Week is 20 June 2014. Online registration can be done on the LSSA website at www.LSSA.org.za. Alternatively, practitioners can contact their provincial law society for a registration form.
This year’s National Wills Week will be held from 15 to 19 September. Participating attorneys will be provided with free posters and flyers to publicise the firm’s participation. Provision is made on the posters and flyers for the firm’s contact details. PDF versions of posters and flyers can be provided so that the firm can use these electronically (e-mail contact@LSSA.org.za).
Firms will be listed as participating firms at the provincial law society as well as on the database of participating firms on the LSSA website.
A national media campaign will be launched early in August. All media and publicity material will invite members of the public to consult the LSSA/provincial law societies’ websites or call the relevant provincial law society for the contact details of participating firms. In addition, parastatals, companies, municipalities or public libraries wishing to arrange special will-drafting services for their members or staff will be given the list of participating firms in their areas.
What is expected from participating attorneys?
