The Master’s Office is moving toward a fully digital system, making electronic registrations, administration, and documentation mandatory. This webinar unpacks the current requirements, demonstrates how to use the new system, and explores what the future holds for estate administration.

The Master’s Office has long resisted the transition to a fully digital system - but change is now inevitable. In the near future, electronic registration, administration, and documentation will become mandatory when engaging with the Master’s Office.
