20 years.

That's the average length of time our directors have been at Marwick.

In a profession where people move every three, that continuity matters — because your file, your story, your structures and your history stay with the person who knows them best.

The file you open today will still be handled by the same person in ten years.

Meet the people who'll know your business longer than most.

Deceased estates: the 9 steps nobody tells you about.

Losing someone is hard enough. The administrative process that follows shouldn't add to it.

From the day an estate is reported to the day the beneficiaries receive their inheritance:

1. Reporting the estate to the Master
2. Letter of Executorship
3. Inventory of assets and liabilities
4. Debts and creditor claims
5. Deceased tax returns
6. Liquidation and distribution account
7. Advertising the account
8. Final discharge
9. Beneficiary handover

We walk families through this process, one step at a time. When you're ready, we're here.

Trust administration. Done with the care it deserves.

Trusts are misunderstood, over-sold, under-managed — and quietly punished by SARS when they're set up badly.

Done correctly, they remain one of the most powerful tools in South African estate and business planning.

We administer:
→ Inter vivos trusts (family and business)
→ Testamentary trusts
→ Special trusts
→ Trustee support, accounting and compliance

Talk to the specialists who've been doing this since 1973.

"When should I start thinking about an exit?"

Ten years earlier than you are now.

Most owner-managed businesses discover succession planning in the last 18 months before exit — long after the levers that actually matter have moved.

Early planning unlocks:
→ Tax-efficient structuring
→ Meaningful valuation improvement
→ The option to choose your successor
→ A business that can run without you before it has to

If you can't see your exit yet, that's the right time to plan for it.

Does your company actually need a statutory audit?

Under the Companies Act, it depends on your Public Interest Score (P*S) and a handful of other factors most business owners don't calculate regularly.

Swipe through:
→ How to calculate your P*S
→ When a review is enough
→ When an audit becomes mandatory
→ What changes if you hold assets in a fiduciary capacity
→ What triggers an audit even when the P*S doesn't

Not sure where you sit? Ten minutes with a Registered Auditor will save you months of guessing.

A family who thought they had time.

They ran a thriving family business.
A will was in place — but written fifteen years earlier.

The business shares were never updated.
A spouse was added to the family, but not to the planning.

When the unexpected came, the business was frozen inside the estate for almost two years.

A spouse was left waiting.
The children didn’t agree.

Estate plans don’t stay current on their own. Review yours every five years — and speak to us about putting the right structures in place for your family and your business.

Need an audit opinion?

Give us a call.

As Registered Auditors, Marwick is qualified to deliver what many firms can't — statutory audits, independent reviews and specialist opinions that carry legal weight.

Your business may require an audit if:
→ Your Public Interest Score exceeds the threshold
→ You hold assets in a fiduciary capacity
→ Your MOI or funders require one
→ You're preparing for sale, funding or succession

Not sure where you sit? A ten-minute call will clarify it.

Plan ahead. Not after.

The best estate plan is the one made on a quiet Tuesday — not an urgent Monday.

If your will is more than five years old, if your business structure has changed, or if there's been a marriage, divorce, death or significant acquisition in your family — it needs a review.

We do estate reviews in a single sitting. Two hours, most of the time.

7 in 10 South Africans die without a valid will.

Their estates are administered by the Master of the High Court under intestate succession rules that almost never reflect what the deceased actually wanted.

If you're one of the 3 in 10 who does have a will — when was it last updated?

If you're in the 70%, it's time.

We’ve been drafting, reviewing and administering wills and estates since 1973. A one-hour conversation will put the right plans in place for the people who matter most.
