An estate must be reported to the Master of the High Court within 14 days of death. We assist with the entire process, from obtaining the Letters of Executorship to the final distribution of assets.

Administering an estate is a complex legal process involving tax compliance, creditor notifications, and formal accounting. As LPC-regulated attorneys, we ensure the estate is managed according to the Administration of Estates Act, protecting the interests of heirs and executors.

How long does it take to wind up a deceased estate?

While timelines vary depending on the complexity of the assets, a standard estate typically takes between 6 to 12 months to finalize through the Master's Office.
