Master of the High Court
The Office of the Master of the High Court is responsible for the administration of deceased estates, protection of interests of creditors and debtors, legatees, minors, children, and heirs, as well as the registration and safekeeping of wills. It also handles the winding up of insolvent estates and liquidation of companies.
Any person who was present at the time of death, is in charge of the house where the death occurred, or is owed by the deceased can report an estate within 14 days at the Master of the High Court Headquarters, Regional Offices, or the Regional Administrator's Office.
When reporting an estate, it is important to bring documents such as a death certificate, marriage certificate, will, decree of divorce, birth certificate, adoption certificate, bank book/bank cards, share certificate(s), blue book, title deed, revenue stamps, and a national identity card. All copies of the documents should be certified.
An executor/trix nominated at a next-of-kin meeting is eligible to wind up the deceased's property. Their duties include assembling and taking charge of all assets, advertising for debtors and creditors, supplementing the inventory, collecting from debtors, preparing and filing the Liquidation and Distribution Accounts, and paying the deceased's debts and heirs from the remainder of the estate.
