WILLS & ESTATE PLANNING


Planning around your unique circumstances

What do you leave to your family in your will and how should you word it? What is fair, legal and enforceable? It is not an easy task. At Pincus Matz, we offer a personal service that ensures that your will is in line with your estate plan.

We offer the following services:

Estate planning
  • An estate plan is essential for everyone and can be as simple as drawing a will but may include an assurance analysis, tax planning and the formation of a trust.  
  • It is essential to put into place or revise an estate plan when you acquire or sell assets, or when your family circumstances change. 
  • We help you to plan your affairs, particularly the structure of asset ownership, to ensure that your estate is as tax efficient as possible and that the administration of your estate proceeds smoothly.

Drafting and updating of wills     
  • Your will is an extremely important and personal document. It will determine how your assets are dealt with when you die. 
  • Your will should be in line with your estate plan, meet the needs of your family’s circumstances and should be regularly updated to keep abreast of changes in your life and current legislation.  
  • To avoid confusion and unnecessary litigation, it is vital that professionals handle the drafting of the document. We have the knowledge and expertise to ensure that your will is both valid and enforceable.

Winding up of deceased estates
  • We provide personal attention to your family and the efficient administration of your estate as prescribed by the Administration of Estates Act and the Master of the High Court. 
  • We have the staff and expertise to deal with disputes and any legal questions which may arise during the process. 
  • Our aim is to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience in your dealing with this sensitive area of the law.
