Can you sue an estate after probate?
In South Africa, a deceased estate is lodged with the Master of the High Court to obtain a Letter of Executorship. A creditor has two opportunities to lay a claim against the deceased estate. However, depending on the country (offshore), a Grant of Probate is applied for with the relevant offshore authority for the execution of a deceased estate and a creditor is then able to claim against that estate. The laws of that country apply to how a deceased estate is administered. We recommend you consult with a deceased estates’ specialist in the relevant country.
