Drafting of wills and administration of deceased estates
The passing of a loved one is by its nature difficult to deal with, and the winding up of a deceased estate may well prove to be a challenging and lengthy task. We are here to help – leave it to our experts.
It is important that you have a professionally drafted will, which is annually reviewed to ensure that your last wishes be given effect to as intended. In the event where you pass away without a legally enforceable will, your estate will devolve in accordance with the provisions of the Intestate Succession Act 81 of 1987, which may result in your estate being distributed in such a manner and to such individuals as you may not have intended. In addition, the Master of the High Court may appoint an executor who you would not have wished to be appointed as executor in your estate.
Our team of estate specialists is highly experienced and will not only draft your will and attend to the necessary estate planning aspects, but will also attend to the reporting of the estate to the Master of the High Court and the administration of your estate—offering your loved ones the compassion and support they need during the winding-up process.
