Lawyers have described a "will" or "testament" as a tool that can help prevent inheritance disputes.

During discussions on the latest episode of nbc's judicial program, "Wheels of Justice," legal experts Jermaine Muchali and Jamellee Janke explained that inheritance practices often contribute greatly to inequality in society, with the potential to cause chaos among family members. 

Inheritance is defined as "receiving a property, rank, or title by legal descent or succession". 

Apart from the drama that comes with property grabbing, inheritance disputes also often lead to costly and time-consuming court proceedings.

In Namibia, as in many other jurisdictions, inheritance is governed by laws and the constitution as Article 16 of the Namibian Constitution confers freedom of testation on all persons.

Virtually the entire law of wills derives from the premise that a person has the fundamental right to dispose of his or her property as he or she pleases in death as in life. 

As a result, experts have emphasized the significance of having a will in place to resolve any potential inheritance and estate disputes.

Preparing a will, however, is a conversation many avoid for various reasons, including traditional or religious beliefs. 

In some cultures and religions, writing a will is considered taboo, or "wishing for death". 

Legal experts are adamant, though, that as much as some laws are in need of repeal for being incompliant with the constitution, so are some established traditions that disadvantage some in society.
