Tom and Vicky were married in 2000. Tom made a will in 2013 in which he bequeathed 50% of his estate to his wife Vicky and 50% to his children Xeno, Yvette and Zandi in equal shares. Tom and Vicky were divorced five years later in March 2018 and Tom married Bongi three months later.

Tom and Bongi were married in community of property, because Tom was factually insolvent. At this stage, Tom’s estate was worth R50 000 and Bongi’s estate was worth R2 000 000. Tom died ten months after his marriage to Bongi when a run-away truck hit his vehicle on the N1 highway. Bongi and Tom’s joint estate was now worth R2 200 000.

Tom never changed his will made in 2000. How will Tom’s estate devolve?
