High Court Judge Fiona Mwale has urged people in the country to write wills to avoid family feuds over property after they pass away.
Mwale, who oversees the Family and Probate Division, made this plea during a retirement planning seminar for Malawi Defence Force(MDF) soldiers in Lilongwe on Friday.
She emphasized that most cases her division handles involve property disputes due to lack of wills.
Mwale commended the seminar, which aimed to provide soldiers with knowledge and skills to manage their wealth and prepare for retirement.
National Defence College Commandant, Brigadier General Dan Kuwali, and Nico Life Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Wise Chigudu also stressed the importance of retirement planning and partnership to address poverty in retirement.
A will, also called a last will and testament, is a legally enforceable declaration of how a person wants his or her property and assets distributed after death.
