New feature in v10.0e:

As happens in most deceased estate cases, the family/heirs hands over everything they can find that might belong to the deceased. At this point the executor does not yet know:

1. If there is an amount due or payable on the item;

2. If it will become a claim in favour of the estate; or

3. If it will become a liability in the estate.

In order to be able to correspond with the relevant entity/person in order to establish the above, letters will have to be written. More »

From time to time we come across estates where the deceased enjoyed a fiduciary right over a certain asset. This has to be deal with in the Fiduciary Account part of the L&D and is, effectively, like a mini L&D on its own. Effectively, the deceased does own the asset, but is has to be transferred to already identified heirs upon his death.
