WHAT IS A DECEASED ESTATE?

A deceased estate is made up of all the assets and liabilities you leave behind when you die. Administering a deceased estate involves distributing assets to your beneficiaries after all debts have been settled. This process is regulated by law and is overseen by the Master of the High Court.

We can assist you by:

  • Meeting with family members and beneficiaries to collect documents.
  • Submitting documents to the Master of the High Court.
  • Determining claims against or in favour of the estate.
  • Determining the value of the assets in the estate.
  • Completing and submitting an income tax return.
  • Ensuring debts are paid and assets are distributed.
