ESTATE PLANNING

As part of our commitment to offering holistic solutions to our clients, and offering our expertise and service in all facets of our clients’ interactions with the law, we are able to offer a comprehensive service in the important fields of Estate Planning, Administration of Deceased Estates and Trusts.

The preparation of Wills, the formation of Trusts and Estate Planning in general, require specialised skill and insight, which we are proud to offer clients. Keeping abreast of developments in the law, and trends in taxation, is essential in offering a professional service in this field, and at Greeff Attorneys, we are able to offer the expertise clients expect – and need. We develop tailor-made solutions which may involve the formation of Trusts, or the drafting of new, tax-efficient, and legally sound Wills. Giving our clients confidence and peace of mind in this important aspect of their personal planning is our priority.
