ABSA TRUST CAPE DIV .ADDING INSULT, CRUELTY AND INJURY TO LOSS OF LIFE

ATT: Absa Trust Deceased Estates Western Cape Region. My Grandmother's estate has been stagnant for the past FOUR years already, in comparison to larger estates with complex property portfolios, this is an extremely straightforward estate with no objections from any of the beneficiaries. whatsoever.

Yet, 4years and counting. During these four years immense time, stress, and overall damage was and still is being induced on my Aunt, an extremely dear family member that was entrusted to be the co-executor, in good faith by her parents that she would not have to deal with this level of gross incompetence from ABSA trust cape division.

She must follow up due to non-responsiveness also, rectify documents where children and grandchildren are mixed up as well. All her time and effort dealing with this ****, only to also facilitate not one but multiple re-dos of signed documents, signatures from people living in different provinces, were done because the previous ones get lost during phases when ABSA shuffles around their workforce apparently. Resulting in having to deal with numerous “Administrators”, correcting the same mistakes time and again. Look, I get that thing don't move as fast down there, and as someone that owns and rents out some properties in CT, I go there when I want to slow down a bit.

Occasionally, fine, up here in civilization we've all made the sporadic joke that residents of CT are called "Capetonians" and JHB residents "Property owners" since we have so many guaranteed tenants in the mother city, that’s for the folks who can pay for something more than a commune, likely at the age of 30-45? Not sure. I’ve never gone for the conversation.

Setting aside mutual jokes about “Workaholic” inlanders and “Carpe diem” Capetonians. It’s all fun and games, until your driverless enthusiasm for professional pride, starts affecting the lives of people in an acutely scarring emotional way.

To say Absa trust handles deceased trusts at a GLACIAL pace, would be an overreach for the speed and lack of efficiency they do things.

If I were to draw a diagram, it would be a very simple diagram consisting of single a horizontal line, any folks from ABSA reading this, I’m going to assume you didn’t pass geometry; a horizontal line means as time goes by nothing is happening.

To anyone else reading this, should you be so kind and generous as to leave behind something for your loved ones after your departure from this earth? If they loved you as much in return, they likely don’t feel entitled to an inheritance in any case. In which case, I strongly recommend just getting a law firm to do these things for you, they cost extra, but it will take a massive load off a loved one’s shoulder that otherwise would have had to deal with something like ABSA.

I’m sure it is a great privilege to be nominated and feel valued and trusted to be nominated the co-executor with a bank to execute your will and testament, but it’s not as pleasing having to do it.

Frustrating situations occur, and this person, in my case my Aunt, has many legal hurdles when it comes to her inability to even talk about her horrific experience with the rest of her loved ones. This is so inhumane to see, and four years is a long time for a daughter to mourn the loss of her mother while having to keep up a quiet and non-verbal front for her frustrations due to ethical limitations.

As far as I’ve been updated myself by ABSA trust themselves, to my knowledge the last contact person at ABSA was Francois H. Helmie LLB (NMMU) "Administrator. As they’re lacking in communication once more, I’m assuming.

Estates", cape division. Is a tedious, timeous, traumatic, and horrifying experience that takes its toll on the mourning process for the people left behind. And even more so for the family member left to be tortured by ABSA trust.

My own Mother passed more than a decade ago, and this is not something one gets over, you learn to live with loss.

I can honestly say, I see before me a dear member of my family going through a process, I’m all too fami**** with, and ABSA hasn’t made it easier at all.

I can’t help but see the linguistic irony in the derivative word “trust” and how conflictual formalities with the ************* service from of ABSA trust cape div.

In this estate not even being large in financial value that any one of the beneficiaries would need it, or contest anything in the will itself for that matter. There are not millions that will change the courses of lives I’m talking about, straight forward, simple.

A kind and loving gesture from my Grandmother, leaving her children and grandchildren something they don’t need, but appreciate non less. Has been ruined by ABSA trust, in turning a lovely gesture into inhuman cruelty imposed on some family members expected to s****-feed the halfwits appointed to have done this years ago.

I’ll say it again, this estate is mainly sentimental, and not by any means a massive cash influx to any of the beneficiaries, which makes it horrific to see what this has done to my family.

Lives of people having their own routines, personal lives, and children, yet being left in the dark as to who should take turns on maintaining extremely sentimental property that still belongs to no one.

Four years of this garbage ABSA trust ineptness exuded tremendous psychological uncer*****y and inability to try and move forward from the great loss of my Grandmother.
