DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN REGISTER A DECEASED ESTATE WITHOUT A DEATH CERTIFICATE?
A deceased estate can be registered without the death certificate. The death certificate can be filed at a later stage, as it is not a preliminary requirement for the purposes of registering the estate.
For an estate to be registered there must be two things:
- Death
- Property (owned by the deceased) – both movable and immovable assets that have an attached monetary value.
The process of registering an estate can be done by ANY interested party, which may include:
-
- Spouse
- Relative
- Child
- Creditor
These are people who have an interest in the estate being registered and dissolved.
