Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I die without a will?
Your estate is distributed according to the Intestate Succession Act — not your wishes. This can mean your unmarried partner inherits nothing. A valid will gives you control and protects your loved ones.
How do I report a deceased estate?
A deceased estate must be reported to the Master of the High Court within 14 days of death. We handle the full process — from reporting the estate to distributing assets to beneficiaries.
