Wills & Estates for Cape Town clients
A will is one of the most caring things you can do for the people you love. Without one, the law decides who inherits, guardianship of your children can be left to a court, and your family can face months of uncertainty during an already painful time. We draft clear, legally valid wills that say exactly what you want, help you appoint the right executor and guardians, and keep your original will safe. And when a loved one passes away, we guide families through winding up the estate at the Master of the High Court, handling the paperwork and the deadlines so you can focus on what matters. Everything is explained in plain language, with no jargon and no judgement.
Cape Town deceased estates are reported and administered through the Master of the High Court, Western Cape Division, in Cape Town. We assist clients across the City Bowl, Atlantic Seaboard, Southern Suburbs and Northern Suburbs with drafting valid wills under the Wills Act 7 of 1953, appointing executors and guardians, and winding up deceased estates under the Administration of Estates Act 66 of 1965. Online consultations mean Cape Town clients anywhere in the Western Cape can work with us without needing to travel.
