A timely reminder on payments to executors

1 min read

Alf Macolino of Lynch Meyer (solicitors in SA) reports a significant increase in queries

obtaining a Grant of Probate or Letter of Administration. He advises you must insist on
one of these two proofs of authority. If you pay out incorrectly you would be required to
pay it out again to the correct estate.
