We responded to the question;

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT ARISE FROM ESTATE ADMINISTRATION?

The process of administering an estate involves the distributing of ones assets or estate in line with the provisions of the law of Zimbabwe unless the family agrees otherwise. There are some problems that stem from the process and these include:

(i) Family feuds – where parents and children are not on speaking terms;
(ii) Disagreements on Executor appointment – (characterized by the family failing to agree who the executor of the estate will be)
(iii) The costs associated with administering a deceased estate and costs of transfer or cession thereafter.
(iv) General lack of understanding of the estate administration process.

We responded to one of the frequently asked questions below.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SETTING UP A FAMILY TRUST ?

Some of the benefits of a family trust are detailed below:

Property belonging to a Family Trust is protected from creditors – the assets of the trust cannot be attached to satisfy individual debts of the Founder, Trustees and or beneficiaries.

There is protection of family property as it is managed by Trustees on behalf of the beneficiaries or children. No child can sell or destroy property belonging to the Trust (unless there are provisions in the Trust permitting such) – it is important to note that with family trusts there is no blanket approach as each Trust is tailor made to suit the client’s needs.
