We will furnish you with proof of payment of the Master’s Fee, together with a cover letter to the Master and their relevant contact information for you to submit your documents to the Master for registration. Once your trust is registered, the Master will furnish you with a Letter of Authority confirming registration of your trust.

Alternatively, for an additional nominal fee, you may send the original signed documents to us (together with the required supporting documentation) via registered post, overnight mail or counter-to-counter mail. Upon receipt of your original documents, we will compile your documents and submit them to the Master of the High Court for registration. We will confirm registration via email and the original Letter of Authority will be delivered to you via registered post in due course, upon receipt thereof from the Master, which usually takes approximately 3 to 4 weeks depending on the area. (In Johannesburg, we are experience delays up to 7 weeks.)
