Pineapple Wills & Estates
Ever wondered what would happen if you, well, unexpectedly peace out and leave this circus?
Without a will, it’s basically a free-for-all with your stuff, and not in the fun, treasure-hunt kind of way.
Ever wondered what would happen if you, well, unexpectedly peace out and leave this circus?
Without a will, it’s basically a free-for-all with your stuff, and not in the fun, treasure-hunt kind of way.
Long story short, with a Pineapple Will, you will have full control over how your money, property or possessions will be shared out.
Used to have a little, now you have a lot? Or not.
Having a will is important.
Anything can happen...
Living your best life with your not-so-official better half?
Well, you should’ve put a ring on it because, without a will...
Your life savings, beloved GTi, family home and expensive Le Creuset collection you’ve been working on for +-15 years will not go to your partner.
Got a spouse and a squad of munchkins? Without a will, your significant other could end up with everything, leaving your tiny clones with zip, zilch, nada!
And, if your family tree has more branches than the Kruger National Park, well, without a will, dividing your stuff could get more ruthless than an episode of Survivor.
TBH, You’d be better off consulting a magic-8 ball to decide who gets what at this point.
No partner or kids to brag about? Well, without a will, your stash might end up back where it all started, with your folks or siblings.
Imagine your hard-earned cash funding your sister's “experimental art” or, better, your brother's dream of starting a band at 40.
Love the idea? Didn’t think so.
Flying solo in the immediate family department?
Well, without a will, your stuff might get more distant than your 10-year high school reunion. Fancy gifting creepy Uncle Larry (that one relative on your mother's side) your home?
What about dividing your hard-earned cash among relatives you never even knew existed?
Sound good? Thought as much.
If the law cannot find anyone remotely related to you (and you know they are going to look super hard), your stuff will go to the government!
Imagine funding ESKOM or an initiative to “fill” potholes?
Dreams really do come true, right? Yes? No?
So, you've decided to do the ultimate mic drop and leave this cosmic party early. Cool, cool. But here's a plot twist: exiting stage left comes with a price tag, and it's not just emotional.
Picture this
You leave behind a swanky pad worth a cool 2 mil, and your beloved inheritors are ready to move in. But wait, the taxman cometh, waving a hefty bill of R400,000 in estate duties. Yeah, that's right. Your dear ones, possibly still figuring out how to convert a PDF to a Word doc, now need to cough up cash they don't have. Tragic.
Here's where it gets real
They might have to auction off the house just to settle the score. Imagine your legacy being remembered as "the reason we had to sell the house." Not exactly the footnote you were aiming for, right?
So, unless you fancy the idea of your family hosting a garage sale on Facebook Marketplace of epic proportions (your vinyl collection deserves better), maybe it's time to get a bit more strategic with the whole will thing. Just a thought.
Ditch the handwritten will you’re hoping someone will find buried in a dusty book.
With Pineapple, a specialist will draft a professional will, tailored for you.

So you’ve taken your final bow, and while the crowd’s still clapping, your family has unexpected bills to pay. Funerals, last-minute flights, a mountain of takeaways because who’s cooking?!
This added benefit sends money to your loved ones within 48 hours for immediate relief. It’s like that one friend who always has gum but for unexpected funeral costs.
Wrapping up your earthly affairs? Not as instant as a microwave meal, and the unexpected costs can crank up the heat for your family. We’re not just talking about the paperwork fees, clearing out your pad and those estate ads that say “Sale: Everything Must Go!”.
It’s more than that, it’s the cost to cover the monthly bills in your absence. Electricity (because who likes dining by candlelight unless it's intentional?), medical aid, school fees, groceries and yes, even insurance (ironic, isn’t it?) - because the show must go on!
This added benefit sends money to the estate executor faster than you can say, “I left it all to my cat, Frank”.
Imagine this plot twist: both you and your partner unexpectedly ghost the world together. Romantic? Maybe, in like a Baz Luhrmann ‘Romeo + Juliet’ kinda way . Financial nightmare for your family? Absolutely.
The double exit fee is no joke; finances are suddenly on a fast track to becoming drier than a Savannah. The worst part? You can’t drink it.
So, this added benefit is there to cushion the blow, covering those sneaky inheritance taxes and legal fees, ensuring your family’s taken care of and aren’t the ones left playing financial Tetris.
