At Louwrens Koen Attorneys, we want to be very clear about who we are and how we work.
We are not the Master of the High Court, nor are we affiliated with the Department of Justice or any government agency.
We are a private, South African law firm owned and managed by Louwrens Koen. Our role is to act as your independent legal representative.
The Master’s Office is the government body that oversees estates, but they do not "do the work" for you. They do not collect assets, speak to banks, or settle debts. That is the responsibility of the Executor.
By choosing our firm, you are hiring private legal professionals to:
Handle the Paperwork: We prepare the documents that must be submitted to the Master’s Office.
Skip the Queues: We deal with the Department of Justice on your behalf so you don't have to.
Professional Guidance: We provide the "everyday quality" legal support that a government office cannot provide to individuals.
By using our website, estateadminsa.co.za, you acknowledge the following:
Service Provider: You are engaging with a private law firm, Louwrens Koen Attorneys.
Voluntary Engagement: Using our online enquiry forms is a voluntary choice to seek private legal assistance.
Fees: Unlike the general information services provided by the government, our professional services are subject to the regulated fees set out in the Administration of Estates Act.
No Government Affiliation: We do not claim to have "special influence" over government departments, but we do have decades of experience in navigating their requirements efficiently.
