Estate administration services

There are 10 main steps for executing a deceased estate. These include the following:

  1. Registration of the deceased estate with the office of the Master of High Court.
  2. Apply for, and be appointed Executor of the estate – This process involves a set up of an edict meeting with the Master’s office in which beneficiaries should be in attendance or have a representative.
  3. Compile a preliminary list of assets and liabilities.
  4. Receive Letters of Administration from the Master’s Office.
  5. Advertise for debtors and creditors (30 days for lodging of claims).
  6. Assess the financial position of the Estate and compile a First and Final Liquidation and Distribution Account.
  7. Prepare and submit a First and Final Liquidation and Distribution Account.
  8. Pay the Master’s fee and advertise the First and Final Liquidation and Distribution Account.
  9. Authorisation of the First and Final Liquidation and Distribution Account by Master’s office.
  10. Distribution of assets and payment of the Executor’s fee.

Real Estate Valuations

Valuation for immovable properties are carried out for various purposes that include:

  1. Insurance
  2. Mortgage
  3. For sale
  4. Accounting purposes
  5. Deceased estate
  6. Divorce settlement

We also carry out open-market appraisals for clients who wish to know the value of an immovable property before they decide to purchase or lease an immovable property.

Will writing

Will writing is important particularly in cases that involve children.  Lack of proper estate planning can result in conflicts among remaining beneficiaries or cause families to lose their homes.
Where minors are involved, in the absence of a Trust any funds or movable assets are held in the Guardian’s Fund by the Master of the High Court. However, it is important to properly account for children as the law requires that children are entitled to share equally throughout their life.  We assist in drafting wills and ensuring these are registered with the office of the Master of the High Court.
