Most people put off writing a will because it feels uncomfortable — nobody wants to think about their own passing. But without a valid will, the South African government decides who inherits your assets, your home, and your money. That decision rarely reflects what you would have wanted for your family.
We sit with you personally, listen to your wishes, and draft a legally valid will that protects everything you've worked for. Whether you want to leave everything to your spouse, split assets between children, or make specific arrangements for dependants — we make sure every detail is captured correctly and legally binding under the Wills Act.
This service is completely free. No consultation fee, no drafting fee, no hidden costs of any kind. We believe every South African deserves a proper will regardless of their income or the size of their estate. One WhatsApp is all it takes to get started.

When a loved one passes away, their estate doesn't automatically transfer to the family. Everything freezes. Bank accounts are locked, property cannot be sold or transferred, and the law requires the estate to be formally reported to the Master of the High Court within 14 days of the passing. Most families have no idea this deadline even exists — and missing it creates serious complications.
Administering a deceased estate involves appointing an executor, valuing all assets, settling outstanding debts, submitting detailed accounts to the Master's Office, advertising for creditors, and only then distributing what remains to the rightful heirs. This process typically takes several months and involves strict legal requirements at every step. One missed deadline or incorrectly submitted document can delay the entire estate by months.
We manage the entire administration process from your very first WhatsApp to the final distribution to your family. Every document, every deadline, every submission — handled. And we do it at 1.75% of the gross estate value. Exactly half the legally allowed maximum of 3.5%. On a R2 million estate alone that's a saving of R35 000 that stays with your family where it belongs.

Property is almost always the most complicated and emotionally charged part of a deceased estate. The moment a person passes away, any property they owned cannot simply be sold, transferred, or signed over to family members. It becomes frozen as part of the estate and must go through the correct legal process before anything can happen — no matter how urgently the family needs to act.
Before any property can be transferred or sold, the estate must first be formally administered and an executor appointed by the Master of the High Court. The property needs to be professionally valued, all outstanding bonds or debts against it need to be settled, and the transfer must be handled through a registered conveyancer. Whether the family decides to keep the property or sell it — every step has a specific legal requirement attached to it.
We guide Western Cape families through every part of this process — from the initial valuation right through to the final transfer or sale. We work alongside registered conveyancers to make sure everything is handled correctly, legally, and as quickly as possible. You don't need to understand the legal side. That's exactly what we're here for.

Thousands of South African families are entitled to government housing subsidies — particularly in cases involving a deceased estate where the surviving family members are low to middle income earners. Most of these families never claim what they're entitled to simply because the application process is confusing, document-heavy, and difficult to navigate without professional guidance.
A subsidy application requires specific documentation, must be submitted to the correct government department, and needs to meet strict qualifying criteria. The process involves verifying income, confirming property details, submitting the deceased's estate documents, and following up through the correct channels. Without someone who knows the system it's easy to submit incorrectly, face rejection, or simply give up entirely.
We assess whether your family qualifies, gather every document needed, and submit the full application correctly on your behalf. We know exactly what each department requires and we follow up until your family gets the outcome they deserve. This is one of the most overlooked services in estate administration — and for many Western Cape families it makes a very real financial difference at exactly the right time.
"How much does it cost to administer a deceased estate?"
Most attorneys charge the maximum legally allowed executor fee of 3.5% plus VAT of the total estate value. On a R2 million estate that's R70 000 in fees alone. We charge half of that — always. And if you just need a will drafted, that's completely free.
"I've just lost a loved one — what do I do first?"
The first thing to know is that a deceased estate must be reported to the Master of the High Court within 14 days of the passing. It sounds daunting but that's exactly what we're here for. Simply WhatsApp us and we'll walk you through every single step from day one — no legal jargon, no confusion.
"Do I need a lot of money or a big estate to use your services?"
Absolutely not. We help every Western Cape family regardless of the size of the estate or their financial situation. Whether the estate includes a house, a small savings account, or just a will that needs drafting — we're here for you.
