The following are the main formalities that an Executor has to observe: 1.A Death Notice and Inventory of the deceased’s assets are completed at the time the death is reported. These documents together with the original Will and Death Certificate are lodged with the Master of the High Court. 2.If the person nominated as Executor in the Will is prepared to accept the appointment, he/she must do so in writing. The Master will appoint an Executive where there is no will or the nominated Executor declines to act. 3.In due course (approx six to eight weeks), the Master will issue the Letters of Executorship. The Executor will then have the necessary authorisation to proceed with the liquidation formalities and to take custody of the estate property and records. 4.The Executor must then advertise, in the Government Gazette and in one or more local newspapers) a notice calling creditors to lodge their claims within a stipulated period.
