Request for Assistance in Resolving Estate Dispute
Dear Sir/Madam I, Mangaliso Mkokeli (ID: ***), lost my father, Minto Mkokeli (ID: ***), in 2019. My father was employed at the Department of Home Affairs at the time of his passing. Since his death, I have been unable to find closure due to ongoing disputes with my siblings over his estate. I currently reside in Cape Town, while the rest of my father's children live in East London. According to my understanding, we were all supposed to be present during the reading of his estate's executive will. A date was set, but the siblings changed it, and I was not there when the letter was opened or read. I asked my siblings about the letter and what our father left to me and the other siblings, but that information was never disclosed to me.
I then reached out to the master's office in Grahamstown, requesting information regarding my dad's estate, but they refused to help or share any details. I let it go, but a couple of months later, I was sent R30, 000 with no explanation. I tried to inquire again with the master's office in Grahamstown and my siblings to find out what our father left to us and how his other assets would be split, but I had no luck.
I really need help regarding this issue. Is there a way I can get the original letter from the master's office to see what my father left to us as siblings? I need to find closure. I also believe that my father made a beneficiary on more than one policy and would have fairly split his assets between me and my siblings, but now I am being left in the dark. Yours Sincerely Mangaliso Mkokeli
