Administration of Deceased Estates 2020
Overview
The multidisciplinary topic of administration of deceased estates is an often-neglected topic, be it in the academic curriculum of either law or accounting. This webinar workshop aims to provide practical guidelines and tips on the smooth wrapping-up of a deceased estate and addresses issues commonly encountered, focusing on:
- Estate planning and wills.
- Role players in the administration process.
- Appointment and responsibilities of an executor.
- Preparation of liquidation and distribution account.
On completion of the session you should have gained enough confidence to monitor the smooth execution of such a process and will be able to attend to the wrapping-up of a simple estate on your own.
Course Content
In this comprehensive session, we unpack and explore some of the following key aspects:
- The drafting of a will (which might include generation-skipping).
- The applicability of taxes such as transfer and estate duty.
- Accrual claims by or against an estate.
- Common law and statutory claims for maintenance by either a dependant of the testator or a surviving spouse.
- Re-distribution agreements.
- Section 18(3) estates.
- Monetary advances to dependants during the period when an estate is frozen.
- The role of trusts.
- Executor’s fees.
- Master’s fee tariffs for deceased estates.
Upon wrapping-up of an estate, the executor is responsible for the preparation of a liquidation and distribution account – this is one of the most important tasks and responsibilities of an executor. In this session, specific emphasis will be placed on this aspect.
