Estate Assist is a service by Cloete Inc, created to assist families, executors and authorised representatives with the practical administration of deceased estates.
Deceased estate administration can be confusing, time-consuming and frustrating, especially where families are unsure of the reporting process, the Master’s Office requirements, estate finances, policies, property, creditors or the final distribution process.
Estate Assist provides structured and practical support to help move the estate administration process forward in a clear and accountable manner.
What We Do
We assist with the practical steps involved in deceased estate administration, including:
✓ Guidance on reporting a deceased estate
✓ Assistance with Letters of Executorship or Letters of Authority
✓ Master’s Office follow-ups
✓ Estate document preparation and coordination
✓ Liquidation and Distribution Account support
✓ Estate financial administration and reconciliations
✓ Coordination of policies, property, bank accounts and asset transfers
✓ Finalisation and distribution support
Our Approach
Our approach is practical, transparent and structured.
We believe heirs and authorised representatives should not be left in the dark. Where appropriate and legally permissible, we keep relevant parties informed regarding the progress of the estate, the administration process and estate finances, subject to POPIA, confidentiality and the authority of the executor or authorised representative.
Why Estate Assist
Estate Assist was created to provide families and representatives with a clear point of contact and a structured process during a difficult and often unfamiliar time.
Our focus is on helping estates move forward properly, reducing uncertainty, and ensuring that the administration process is dealt with in an organised and accountable way.
