What Is Estate Administration?
Estate administration involves managing and distributing the assets of a deceased person according to their will or, where there is no will, in terms of the laws of intestate succession. This includes everything from reporting the estate to the Master of the High Court, to identifying and valuing assets, settling debts, and ensuring the rightful heirs receive their inheritance.
