Estate Administration & Planning

Guiding families with care and expertise.

The loss of a loved one is never easy, and the legal process that follows should not add to the burden. MSI Attorneys guides families and beneficiaries across Midrand and Gauteng through the estate administration process with care, efficiency, and the specialist knowledge this area demands.

We also help you plan ahead. A properly drafted will is one of the greatest gifts you can leave your family — it gives you control, protects your loved ones, and prevents costly disputes. From will drafting and trust formation to the full winding up of deceased estates, we handle every detail.

How We Can Help

  • Winding up of deceased estates — testate and intestate
  • Executor and administrator appointment and services
  • Will drafting and estate planning advisory
  • Trust formation, administration, and governance
  • Beneficiary disputes and estate litigation

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.
