Frequently asked questions
When should I update my will?
Review it after major changes such as marriage, divorce, children, property purchases, significant asset changes or when an executor or beneficiary choice no longer reflects your wishes.
What happens after a person dies?
The estate generally needs to be reported, an executor or representative appointed, assets and liabilities identified, creditor and tax processes addressed, and distributions made in accordance with the applicable estate process.
Does the firm have estate-administration experience?
Yes. Government Gazette records identify Sekati Monyane Attorneys in deceased-estate administration matters, and Lydia Monyane’s published professional profile includes administration of deceased estates.
