FAQs

It’s the legal process of winding up a deceased person’s financial affairs, including paying debts and distributing assets to heirs.

Usually the executor named in the will. If there is no will, a close family member can apply to be appointed by the Master of the High Court.

Typically, the death certificate, the ID of the deceased, the marriage certificate (if applicable), and the original Will must be submitted — the Master does not accept a certified copy of the Will. We assist with compiling and submitting everything required.

While not mandatory, professional assistance helps avoid delays, ensure compliance, and protect the rights of beneficiaries.

The estate will be administered according to the rules of intestate succession. Visit our Wills & Trusts page to learn why planning ahead makes all the difference.
