How to choose the executor of your estate
The Master of the High Court must approve the executor you nominated after your death.When you die, all your debts must be settled, your final taxes paid and your assets distributed according to your wishes or, if you haven’t written a will, in terms of the law of intestate succession. This process is known as the administration of your estate.
If you die without a will, then your family can appoint someone that they believe is qualified and suitable to be the executor of your estate. Collect rent or other income from immovable assets such as property. Defend the estate or take legal action if money is owed by or to the deceased. Appointing an attorney or fiduciary expert as your executor makes sense, as they are knowledgeable and experienced.
