Wills
We specialise in the drafting of Will and no will is to complicated or plain for us!
This service is free if you appoint us as your Executors, otherwise the costs are R500.
A valid will is an important part of your life. Every responsible adult should have one and have it reviewed from time to time. If you do not have a Valid Will , Your Estate is administrated in terms of the Intestate Sucession act, which may mean heirs which you would not have chosen to inherit may inherit, and appointing an Executor can be a difficult and delay the finalisation of your estate.
In order for any Will to be valid and accepted by the Master of the High Court, it has to comply with the requirements set out in Section 2 of the Wills Act 7 of 1953. The requirements are as follows:
1-The person must be over the age of 16 years.
2-The will must be in writing.
3-Each page of the will must be signed by the testator and two competent witnesses.
4. Witnesses may not be heirs- a witness is excluded from inheriting anything out of an estate.
Your will must also include your full name and ID number, details of your assets, names of your beneficiaries, how you wish to distribute your assets, and the name of the executor.
Antenuptial Contracts
We help a lot of clients with advise regarding die marital regime best suited to them.
Our fees are R3500 for the consultation, drafting, signature and Execution of the ANC.
Estate Planning
Estate planning involves structuring a client’s personal, business and financial affairs in life in such a way that upon his or her death, estate duty, capital gains tax and executor’s fees are minimized.
In addition, estate planning should provide for sufficient cash in the estate to meet the estate’s financial obligations, and ensure that the heirs’ inheritance is protected.
Although life policies are taken into account, comprehensive planning involves the structuring of offshore assets, wills, living wills, trusts and donations, and issues such as marital contracts and different income tax provisions for your Trust Beneficiaries all need to be taken into consideration.
Deceased Estate administration
Our team has 22 years experience in the administration of deceased estates , and can administer with speed and efficiency all kinds of Deceased estates , from small intestate estates to large estates with farms and businesses.
We have the latest software in place to ease and streamline the process.

Conveyancing
Establishment of Trusts and Companies
We discuss your succession and family inheritance needs before we draw up a trust tailor made for you or your family or business. We can also draw up inter vivos family trusts, business trusts or mortis causa Trusts (which deal with your assets after your death). We amend Trust documents to alter the purpose and goals of the trusts,remove or add beneficiaries or Trustees. Strampe Du Plessis can register private or public companies, change directors or shareholders and discuss your company’s business needs and objectives.
