Administration of
Deceased Estates

Guiding you through one of life’s most difficult processes with clarity, care and professionalism.

We provide a professional, structured and compassionate service to administer your

loved one’s estate efficiently and in full compliance with South African Law

Losing a loved one is truly one of life’s most difficult experiences. Alongside the emotional burden, families are then faced with the complex legal and administrative responsibilities when dealing with the estates of their loved ones. This can feel absolutely overwhelming.

At Steinert Moodley Attorneys, we provide a professional, structured and compassionate deceased estate administration service. Our role is to guide you through every step of the process with clarity, care and efficiency—ensuring that your loved one’s estate is administered correctly and in full compliance with South African law.

We understand that this is not just a legal process—it is a deeply personal one. Our team is committed to supporting you with sensitivity, responsiveness and respect at all times.

Personalised Service You Can Rely On

We recognise that every estate—and every family—is unique. Unlike larger, process-driven institutions, we offer a personal and direct service experience. From the outset, you will deal with a dedicated team who understands your matter, and remains available throughout the process.

Our priority is to ensure that you feel informed, supported and confident at every stage.

Our Deceased Estate Administration Process

The administration of a deceased estate in South Africa is governed by legislation and overseen by the Master of the High Court. We guide you through each step in a clear and structured manner:

Transparent and Flexible Fee Structure

Fees for deceased estate administration are regulated by legislation. We adhere strictly to these prescribed tariffs and discuss fees and disbursements with you in detail before we proceed so that you understand how this process works.

Where clients require assistance with specific aspects of the process only, we are able to offer services on an hourly basis. This provides flexibility while maintaining full professional support where needed.

A Supportive, Responsive Team

Professional Standards You Can Trust

Steinert Moodley Attorneys operates in full compliance with the requirements of the Master of the High Court.

We are also proud to be affiliated with the Fiduciary Institute of Southern Africa (FISA), reflecting our commitment to professionalism, ethical conduct and high standards in fiduciary services.
