Here are five essential things to keep in mind:

1. Executor Appointment: Is the executor ready for the job? Choosing an experienced executor can keep things moving and prevent unnecessary conflicts down the road.
2. Finding All Assets & Liabilities: It’s vital to track down every asset and debt. Overlooking even a small detail could cause unnecessary delays.
3. Compliance with the Master of the High Court: Proper paperwork is key. Submit the right forms at the right time to keep the process running smoothly and avoid delays.
4. Handling Beneficiaries: Distributing assets according to the will or law requires clear communication. Ensuring everything is done correctly will help prevent misunderstandings and protect everyone involved.
