A valid will in South Africa must meet the formalities of the Wills Act 7 of 1953, including being signed by you in front of two competent witnesses. Without a will, your estate is divided under the Intestate Succession Act. When someone dies, their estate is reported to the Master of the High Court and wound up by an executor, often with an attorney's help.
A deceased estate has to be reported to the Master of the High Court within 14 days of the death, normally at the Master's office for the area where the person lived. The nearest Master's office is in Cape Town, about 14 km away: Master of the High Court, Cape Town, Dullah Omar Building, 45 Castle Street, Cape Town.
The estate is divided according to the Intestate Succession Act 81 of 1987, which sets out which relatives inherit. This may not match what the person would have wanted.
Simple estates can take several months; larger or disputed estates often take a year or more, because of advertising periods, SARS clearances and the Master's processes.
Use the list above to find firms in Bloubergstrand that handle wills and deceased estates, and ask about their fees for drafting a will or administering an estate.
Estates are reported to the Master's office for the area where the person lived. The closest Master's office to Bloubergstrand is Master of the High Court, Cape Town, about 14 km away.
