When a loved one passes away, many surviving spouses or partners assume the money in a joint bank account is theirs to access immediately, but this is not always the case. Depending on how the account is structured, the deceased’s share may form part of their estate and be subject to the formal administration process. Accessing or withdrawing those funds without understanding the legal position can create serious complications down the line.

VRS Attorneys can help you understand exactly where you stand before you make any financial decisions during an already difficult time. https://tinyurl.com/bdhv2bet

Many parents assume that leaving assets to their children in a will is straightforward, but in South Africa, minor children cannot legally inherit directly. Any inheritance meant for a child under 18 is typically paid into the Guardian’s Fund, administered by the Master of the High Court, until they reach adulthood. This can limit how and when those funds are accessed, and may not align with your intentions as a parent. Proper estate planning, including the use of a testamentary trust, can give you far greater control over how your children are provided for.

VRS Attorneys can help you put a plan in place that truly protects your family’s future: https://tinyurl.com/3n98723m

Being injured in a hit-and-run accident is traumatic, and many victims assume that without an identifiable driver, their claim ends there. In South Africa, the Road Accident Fund makes provision for claims involving unidentified drivers, meaning you may still be entitled to compensation. However, these claims come with specific requirements and strict time limits that must be met from the outset. VRS Attorneys has the experience to assess your situation, ensure the correct procedures are followed, and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Finalising a deceased estate in South Africa is rarely a quick process, and that often comes as a shock to grieving families. Before any assets can be distributed, an executor must be appointed, Letters of Executorship obtained from the Master of the High Court, creditors formally notified, and a full liquidation and distribution account prepared and approved. Each of these steps has its own timeline, and delays at any point can add months, sometimes years, to the process.

At VRS Attorneys, we guide families through every stage with clarity and care, so you always know where things stand: https://tinyurl.com/3n98723m

Many injured passengers never claim from the Road Accident Fund because they believe they would need to sue the driver personally. In most cases, that is not how it works. If the driver was even partly negligent, the RAF may still be responsible for compensating the passenger’s proven damages. This means injured passengers can often claim for medical expenses, loss of income, and other damages.

If you were injured as a passenger in a road accident within the last three years, contact us to assess your position. https://tinyurl.com/3ktm4scx

In South Africa, the first R3.5 million of a person’s estate may qualify for an estate duty exemption. If part of that exemption is not used when the first spouse passes away, the unused portion may be transferred to the surviving spouse. This can allow a married couple to effectively protect up to R7 million across both estates from estate duty. However, the benefit must be correctly claimed and administered through the estate process.

VRS Attorneys assists families with the legal, SARS, and Master’s Office requirements to help ensure nothing is overlooked. https://tinyurl.com/mr35ftt3

South Africa’s 2026 Budget raised the death capital gains tax (CGT) exclusion to R440,000, but without proper planning, your estate could still pay more than expected. The link between CGT and estate duty is one of the most misunderstood areas of South African law. VRS Attorneys specialises in guiding families through exactly this, from the first call to final distribution.
