Accepting an executorship means accepting responsibility for correct valuations, timeous debt settlement, and honest dealing with heirs. Beneficiaries can lodge objections with the Master, and an executor who acts negligently or dishonestly can be removed or held personally accountable for losses caused. This is why many families choose to appoint an attorney as executor or ask one to assist a family member who's been nominated.

A municipal account that doesn't add up shouldn't simply be paid without question or left to escalate. There's a correct process for querying and disputing municipal charges, and following it protects your position. One point many property owners miss: lodging a query doesn't put your payment obligation on hold. The City of Cape Town expects you to keep paying the undisputed portion and your ongoing charges while the matter is investigated. If you don’t do this, interest and credit-control steps can still follow.

Most delays in estate administration come down to incomplete documentation or errors that have to be corrected before the process can continue. Getting the reporting right the first time is what keeps an estate progressing instead of stalling. The Administration of Estates Act 66 of 1965 sets out exactly what an executor must do, from reporting the estate to lodging the Liquidation and Distribution account. We manage that process end-to-end, so beneficiaries aren't left waiting.

Challenging a conduct rule starts with knowing where the problem lies. The issue may be the wording of the rule, the way it was adopted, or the way it is being enforced. Written objections, CSOS applications, and possible court steps all require a clear legal basis.

Not every disagreement with an Executor is enough to have them removed. South African law sets a high bar, and the Court or the Master will only step in for specific reasons. This article looks at Section 54 of the Administration of Estates Act and explains when removal may become possible. It also shows why personal conflict alone is usually not enough.
