The death of a family member or other loved one brings all sorts of burdens. Apart from coming to terms with the loss, if you are an heir or beneficiary you are also faced with the process of settling the estate. This often means swiftly taking important decisions.
If the deceased left no will and the estate is to be settled according to the statutory division, you have to know which steps you do and do not need to take, your rights and duties vis-à-vis the other heirs, and so on. And if the deceased did make up a will, you may still have questions that call for expert insight. For example, if you are named as executor in a will and would like advice on how to approach or fulfil your duties.

We are also experienced in handling suits over executorship, for instance if the executor of an estate to which you are an heir is not performing their duties properly or overzealously, or is overreaching their authority, or if you do not wish to accept an inheritance or to do so only under the benefit of inventory.
Likewise, if you cannot reach agreement with the other heirs on how to divide the estate or find yourself in a dispute with the heirs regarding your claim as a forced heir, you can turn to us for support in the form of mediation or legal action over the division.
We have extensive experience of all of these scenarios.
