Estates

Moore offers a range of estate administration services. We will act as Executor if we have been nominated as such in a will, or under power of attorney in cases in which an individual has been appointed but would prefer to delegate the administrative functions to a professional.

When an individual die, his or her property is handled by people who have been appointed as Executors by Will or Personal Representatives where the individual has died intestate. This can be daunting and we can support the Executor/Personal Representative by providing administration, accounting and tax-compliance services.

We also offer support services to persons who themselves have been nominated, but who seek professional assistance in dealing with the responsibilities involved. Moore offers a reliable and experienced administration service, supported by specialised staff and structures. We will do everything possible to ensure the smooth administration of an estate and the timely distribution of assets, while at the same time making sure that compliance with legal requirements is achieved.
