What Is a Deceased Estate?
A deceased estate comprises all assets, liabilities, rights, and obligations of a person who has passed away.
In South Africa, this estate must be administered in accordance with the Administration of Estates Act, 1965.
Whether the deceased had a will or passed intestate (without one), legal processes must be followed to
ensure proper distribution and compliance.
