About Legacy Link Advisory

Dawid Brits is an admitted attorney (non-practising) of the High Court of South Africa and a financial advisor with Old Mutual Personal Financial Advice in Kimberley, Northern Cape.

He began his professional career in the legal field, where he gained valuable experience assisting families with the administration of deceased estates and providing a range of fiduciary services. Through this work, he developed a deep understanding of the emotional and administrative complexities that arise during times of loss.

Recognising that many of these challenges could be prevented through proper planning, Dawid expanded his practice into the financial planning space — allowing him to serve clients proactively and structure their affairs with clarity and intention.

Legacy Link Advisory was founded with a clear vision: to bridge the gap between legal reality and financial planning.

While many advisors focus primarily on planning, the majority of Legacy Link Advisory’s work lies where it matters most — in the administration of deceased estates and ongoing trust support. This practical, hands-on experience provides real insight into what works, what fails, and what causes unnecessary delays, costs, and frustration for families.

This is what sets Legacy Link Advisory apart.

Planning is not approached as a theoretical exercise, but as something that must stand the test of real-world execution.

• Your plan is built with the end in mind — how it will actually unfold in an estate.

• You avoid common structural mistakes that delay estate administration.

• Your trusts are not only compliant, but functional and properly managed.

• You benefit from advice shaped by real cases, not assumptions. 

• You gain a practical, experienced guide through both planning and administration.

By integrating estate administration experience with financial planning, Dawid provides clients with a unified, strategic approach — where every decision is informed by how things work in practice, not just on paper.
