The administration of a deceased estate occurs after death if that person owned property or created a will. The purpose of this process is to ensure that the financial affairs of the deceased are resolved properly, and that the financial interests of any heirs are protected. Part of this process required that an official Death Notice for the deceased be filed with the court system.
This collection consists of an index to death notices held by the Master of the Supreme Court in Pretoria, which were received as part of the administration of deceased estates for the years 1855 to 1976.
