The Administration of a Deceased Estate is the procedure followed to divest a deceased person of their assets, pay estate debts and transfer assets to testamentary or intestate heirs. At Clooether Attorneys, we have in excess of 10 years experience in winding up estates, both testate and intestate. (Testate, where there is a valid will and Intestate, where there is no will). The administration procedure is detailed and at times complex hence the importance of a properly-drafted will. It is the duty of the Executor of an estate to administer the estate. The Executor is a person appointed by the Master of the High Court and is either nominated in the deceased’s Will or nominated by the family in the case of a person who dies intestate. The Master of the High Court requires the Executor to be assisted by an agent with legal training or experience if he or she does not have the necessary experience. At Clooether Attorneys, we ensure that our services in this regard are swift and financially viable to all parties involved.
