Here are the answers to your Questions.

How long does it take to get inheritance money?

Is Life Insurance part of a deceased person's estate?

What does "Estate of a Deceased Person" mean?

Do I have to pay taxes on the sale of my deceased parents' home?

How much can you inherit without paying taxes?

What is an Executorship?

Can a Last Will and Testament expire?

And you didn't even have to ask. We are good like that ...

The length of time it takes to administer an Estate depends on the complexity of the Estate, which in turn affects how long it takes to receive an inheritance. An Executor is required by regulation to submit a Liquidation & Distribution Account (L&D) to the Master of the High Court within 6 months of the date of the Letter of Executorship. However, the total time to administer and Estate varies and could take years.

Our business rule is to aim to administer and Estate within 6-9 months. 

No, it is only part of an Estate if the policy is not left to the beneficiary. Often, people do not list everything they own in their Wills. 

Life Insurance policies are subject to estate taxes whether the death benefit passes to the estate or the beneficiary.

Legally, Estate refers to everything you own (properties, bank accounts, etc). It's a relatively simple definition, but it can become a bit more complicated when someone dies.

Yes. Taxes will be payable either as part of the Estate if you sell it before the Estate is finalised, or as Capital Gains tax on your individual profile if you sell it after you have inherited it.

Each individual receives a rebate of R3,5 million on Estate Duty.

Therefore when an Estate is administered the individual's Estate is exempt from paying Estate Duty on the first R3,5 million of taxable value.

The administration of deceased Estates is generally the process of winding up the affairs of the deceased individual and this process is governed by the Administration of Estates Act, 66 of 1965 (as amended).

These duties and processes need to be fulfilled by a person who is appointed by the Master of the High Court and is refereed to as the Executor of the Estate.

No. The only way a Last Will and Testament becomes invalidated is when you revoke all previous Wills, in your current Will. 

Our Top 7 Reasons on why a Will is so Important to Protect Your Children.

1. Appoint a Trusted Guardian: Without a Will, the court decides who will care for your children. A Will allows you to choose a guardian you trust to raise them according to your values and wishes.

2. Secure Their Financial Future: A Will ensures your assets are distributed to provide for your children’s education, health, and well-being, preventing their inheritance from being mismanaged or delayed.

3. Protect Their Inheritance from the Government’s Hands: A Will can prevent your children’s inheritance from ending up in the Government Guardian’s Fund, where it could be susceptible to fraud and mismanagement.

4. Avoid Family Disputes: Clearly outlined wishes in a Will can help prevent potential conflicts among family members about who should care for your children or how your assets should be distributed.

5. Ensure Immediate Financial Support: A Will can include provisions for immediate financial support for your children, helping the guardian cover everyday expenses without delay.

6. Safeguard Their Rights to Your Assets: Explicitly name each child in your Will to ensure they have a legal claim to your estate, protecting their rights even in complex family situations.

7. Plan for Unforeseen Circumstances: A Will allows you to make provisions for unforeseen circumstances, ensuring your children are cared for even in sudden or unexpected situations.
