Along with the heartache of death comes a variety of additional burdens in the form of legal fees and expenses that must be taken care of by your loved ones.

By understanding these legal fees and expenses, you can prepare for them to ensure the costs are covered and the burden on your loved ones are alleviated.

Executor fees 

This is the industry standard fee charged by the executor or assisting professional to wind up your estate. A maximum of 3.5% plus vat is usually charged.

Testamentary trust fees

This is the fee charged by the trustees to administer the trust created in terms of your will. It’s usually set up to manage the money left to minor children.

Conveyancing attorney fees

This is the fee charged by the conveyancing attorney when property needs to be transferred.
