Question posted in the General Law category relating to Western Cape
Good Day.
My father passed away last year and he left me with his property and unfortunately because it was sudden death he didn't leave a will.
I would like to know how to change his property from his name to my name.

Hi there,
I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment, even if it is R150 or R200.
You will need to report his death to the Master of the High Court, and the Master will appoint an executor. The executor will assist in transferring the property onto your name - if you are the sole beneficiary of your late father's estate.
Would you like somebody to contact you directly to assist with this process?
