There are 77 wills & estates attorneys listed on the LPC public register for Cape Town. The LPC Verified badge on each profile confirms presence on that register at our last import, not an independent practising check.
What happens if someone dies without a will in Cape Town?
Intestate succession is governed by the Intestate Succession Act 81 of 1987. The estate is distributed to surviving spouse and descendants according to a formula. The Master of the High Court appoints an executor. Dying without a will often delays estate administration significantly.
How much does it cost to wind up an estate in South Africa?
Executor fees are capped at 3.5% of the gross estate value (excluding VAT). Attorney fees for estate administration depend on complexity. For estates over R250,000 in assets, the Master requires formal estate administration with Liquidation and Distribution accounts.
