Intestacy -Where there is no will. In this case, the law envisages that property will only devolve to the family members or in their absence be transferred to the Government.
Testacy – Where there is a valid will and property is distributed according to the will.
Both testate and intestate succession call for a court process. In the case of testate succession, we take the will through probate and in the case of intestate succession, we apply for letters of administration.
The documents obtained at the end of the court processes are then used to transmit the property of the deceased so that the ownership changes from the name of the deceased to the name of the beneficiaries.
Our specialization in family law both from a collaborative and dispute resolution perspective enables us to skillfully deal with the dynamics of family relationships with a view to mitigate potential disputes in inheritance matters and preserve family relationships.
