Finding a Will in South Africa

slowpoke_rodriguez · 9 March 2018 at 2:30PM

Hi, I hope someone can help...
Is there an online register of wills for South Africa, accesible in the UK? I would like to find details of a Will in Eastern Cape, date of death June 2017.

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to search online for a will in South Africa via the South African Registry of Wills and Testaments' website.

I'm getting a "403 - Forbidden!" notice for that site, presumably because i'm in the UK?

I'm not a techie, so can't help with that issue, sorry. Try a different browser?

I've tried Chrome, Firefox, IE, my phone and a mac.
None can get through
