Chief Master Directive 1 of 2023
Due to cases of fraudulent manipulation relating to appointment letters issued by the Master for deceased estates, a new format of the appointment letter was issued including a QR code. The QR code is linked to the Master’s system and can be used to verify the appointment letter.
The effective dates for the implementation are:
- Master Johannesburg: 30 March 2023
- Master Durban: 12 April 2023
- Rest of the country: to be confirmed.
For more information and a copy of the new format appointment letter read Circular 11 here.
