We assist with will and estate planning
We act as executors and assist nominated executors with the wind-up of estates and obtaining letters of authority or letters of executorship.
We take charge of the entire administration process of the estate.
The administration of deceased estates is itself a complicated process and therefore it takes professionals with sound, working knowledge and expertise in the winding-up of deceased estates, to guide the process, from reporting the estate to the master of the high court, through the exacting procedure prescribed by law, to final distribution of the estate to the beneficiaries, in an efficient, yet empathetic manner.
The winding up of an estate is an administrative process that is undertaken in conjunction with the appropriate master’s office.
The master’s office is essentially a government department with oversight functions to make sure the relevant taxes and credits are paid in terms of the law and the heirs are paid in terms of the wishes of the testator.
