Deceased Estate Administration

Handshake

The Deceased Estate Department at RoosInc specializes in both section 18(3) estates as well as deceased estates of high-profile clients with assets exceeding 30 million rand. We attend to the administration of deceased estates from the very start up until we obtained a final filing slip from the Master of the High Court. With the assistance of a selected team of accountants, we also manage and finalize the estate tax affairs at SARS.

Our Deceased Estate Department also offers the service of drafting last will and testaments for our clients. Subject to terms and conditions, this service is offered FREE OF CHARGE because everyone should have a will.

We assist in money transfers, in and out of South Africa, in deceased estate and trust matters. We offer a complete turnkey solution at market leading rates. This includes ALL tax clearance and Reserve Bank clearances that are required for transferring money and includes the correct declaration of funds transferred into South Africa.

We also offer assistance and advice on powers of attorney, living wills, estate planning and especially estate planning in the early stages of dementia and other mental or physical illnesses.

Did you know?

If you are a foreigner holding South African assets, it is best to have a South African will in order to determine what will happen to your South African assets. If you die without a South African will, the laws of South Africa will determine what happens to your South African assets - this is not always in line with one's last wishes

Mediation & Alternative Dispute Resolution

The process re-orientates parties towards each other without imposing rules or outcomes, but rather enabling the parties to be more involved in the process of resolution — helping them achieve a new and shared perception of their relationship which will then re-direct their attitudes and dispositions towards each other.

Mediation is vital today and is successful worldwide, from the workplace to communities and families. We will create a safe space for you where you can resolve these disputes discreetly, effectively, and most importantly, with fairness to all parties.

Specialised workplace and employment law expertise

Labour Law

The intricacies of labour law and its ongoing amendments call for more specialised knowledge and expertise on the part of the employer. Due to the complex legal arena relating to the workplace, the needs of employees have expanded vastly, making a multi-disciplined approach to business a necessity.

Businesses in South Africa today are faced more and more with the ever-pressing sensitive relationship between employer and employee. Mistakes made in this regard are not only time-consuming but could lead to costly litigation.

RoosInc can deal with these aspects of human resources and labour matters — important issues to your business, but not core thereto. The benefit of outsourcing this function is that management can concentrate on core business with the peace of mind that human resources, industrial relations, and related matters will be dealt with effectively and efficiently.
