A deceased estate refers to money or property that an individual leaves behind when they die. An estate must be administered and distributed in terms of the deceased’s Will or the Intestate Succession Act. An executor of the estate is nominated in the Will and then appointed by the Master of the High Court to do this. The process of estate administration is often a lengthy and complex one since all debtors, creditors and beneficiaries must first be established and then reflected in the estate accounts, before being approved by the Master of the High Court.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row columns_gap=”2rem” content_placement=”middle” columns=”1″][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text css=”%7B%22default%22%3A%7B%22font-size%22%3A%2220px%22%7D%7D”]
