The Pagdens Deceased Estate Team offers estate planning, will drafting and administration of deceased estates and testamentary trusts. Nicole Carstens leads the department with the assistance and guidance of Doc de Kock.

We understand that planning an estate is important and personal to each individual client and we consider each client’s circumstances to ensure that the best plan is made for each particular person and family.

With Tax Laws changing annually, it is vital to keep up to date with these changes.

Our Estate Planning team has vast experience in Tax Law and keeps up to date with the Tax Law changes and how the Tax Law changes affect the estate plans and trusts being set up.

When it comes to deceased estate administration, we understand that families and friends are already facing a difficult and emotional time and our aim is to ease the burden by taking away the strain of dealing with SARS and the Master of the High Court. Our deceased estate team will also complete all of the forms and documents which go along with reporting an estate. Even if there is no Will or we are not appointed in the Will and the appointed Executor cannot deal with the estate, our team can usually assist as the agent and negotiate a fee which is reasonable.

With a vast knowledge and experience in the field, our Estate Planning and Deceased Estates Administration team will be able to assist with both simple and complex estates and estate plans.

      Pagdens and specifically past commercial director Jean Opperman has given our company the very best legal support and advice over the last five years. They have helped us to navigate two particularly complex issues in our business with huge success, the last one being the sale of the business.

      Jean and the Pagdens team has uncompromising integrity, business ethics and incredible depth of legal knowledge. She has a sharp intellect that enables her to cut through all the nonsense and crystallise the most important aspects to others – whether it be the legal team of the opposition or the very non-legally minded client! She is tenacious and ensures that issues are sorted out as simply as possibly. Apart from it being an absolute pleasure to work with Pagdens, it is also refreshing that one receives reasonable bills. Working with other law firms I have always resented their astronomic fees. I cannot recommend Pagdens highly enough.

      Quest Petroleum operates within the energy sector and more particularly, within the petroleum industry. Our business entails complex transactions which require sound, tailor made and robust legal advice. We have been instructing Pagdens since 2014. Our instructions range from drafting of agreements, conveyancing, litigation, collections and general commercial advice.

      The Pagdens team consists of a senior, experienced contingent as well as a younger guard bursting with legal knowledge. The attorneys are underpinned by friendly and competent secretaries, personal assistants and administration staff. The Pagdens team has always provided us with well-considered and sound legal advice. Their knowledge of law is always informed by the latest legal developments.

      Our matters are in the main urgent in nature. Pagdens team deals with each matter with the necessary urgency without compromising on the quality of correspondence and process which ultimately go out. The aim is always to obtain the best commercial result. In contrast to other firms, Pagdens believes in value billing. As a result, their clients remain loyal and keep referring matters and also other acquaintances. We continue to enjoy a legal service superior to what we have experience anywhere else.
