The winding up of estates frequently gives rise to difficulties, for example, where bequests are unclear or where the estate remaining on death does not correlate to the bequests made by the testator in his/her will (giving rise to ademption or abatement issues). Problems of a legal nature also arise where there has been a divorce, and children of different marriages or partnerships survive the testator. Occasionally, it is the beneficiaries themselves who may wish to seek legal advice if it is considered that the Executors are not fulfilling their obligations in terms of the will.
