Welcome to 2026: A Year to Plan, Protect, and Provide Certainty

As we begin 2026, many individuals and families are reflecting on the importance of structure, foresight, and responsible planning. Matters relating to estates, wills, and trusts are often postponed, yet they remain some of the most important decisions a person can make to protect their legacy and loved ones.

At VV Boedels & Estates, we believe that clarity today prevents uncertainty tomorrow. The new year is an ideal time to ensure that your affairs are in order and that your intentions are clearly documented and legally sound.

Full Administration of Deceased Estates

The loss of a loved one is an emotional and challenging time. Managing the administration of a deceased estate can be complex, time-consuming, and overwhelming without professional guidance.

Our deceased estate administration services include:

• Reporting estates to the Master of the High Court

• Collecting and securing estate assets

• Settling debts and liabilities

• Distributing assets to heirs in accordance with the will or legislation

• Ensuring full legal compliance throughout the process

We handle these matters with diligence, transparency, and respect, providing families with peace of mind during difficult circumstances.

Drafting of Wills: Clarity That Protects Your Legacy

A valid and well-drafted will is the cornerstone of effective estate planning. Without one, assets may not be distributed according to your wishes, leading to unnecessary delays, costs, and family disputes.

Drafting a will allows you to:

• Clearly define how your assets should be distributed

• Appoint executors and guardians where necessary

• Minimise potential conflict among beneficiaries

• Ensure compliance with legal requirements

The start of a new year is an ideal time to review or draft your will, particularly if your personal, financial, or family circumstances have changed.

Trust Administration: Safeguarding Assets for the Future

Trusts play an important role in protecting assets, managing wealth, and providing for beneficiaries over the long term. Proper trust administration is essential to ensure compliance, accountability, and effective management.

Our trust administration services assist with:

• Ongoing trust compliance and record keeping

• Asset management and distributions

• Trustee support and guidance

• Ensuring alignment with the trust deed and applicable legislation

Well-administered trusts provide structure, protection, and continuity across generations.

Access to a Commissioner of Oaths is often essential for legal and administrative processes. We provide reliable Commissioner of Oaths services to assist clients with the certification and commissioning of documents efficiently and professionally.
