Beware : Extreme lack of transparency, blocked on social media, and withholding vital maintenance for a minor beneficiary
I am currently a client of Preshnee Govender Attorneys Inc. (“PGA”) regarding the administration of a deceased estate that has been with the firm for several months.While I understand that deceased estate administration in South Africa involves external delays (the Master of the High Court, SARS, and municipalities), my issue with PGA is not just about time. It is about a severe lack of consistent communication, transparency, documentation, and meaningful progress.My experience with PGA has been deeply concerning:• The Interim Maintenance Runaround: Despite clear statutory allowances for the support of dependants, PGA has given me a complete runaround regarding interim maintenance for the minor child. I have received zero progress updates, zero clarity, and absolutely no financial support for the child's upkeep, despite ongoing requests.• Unanswered Questions & Delays: I have endured postponed meetings, unanswered emails, and long periods where I had to constantly beg for basic updates.• Withheld Critical Documents: I have not been given access to vital estate administration documents, including the Liquidation and Distribution (L&D) Account, the preliminary inventory, and official certified copies of the Letters of Executorship.• Unprotected Minor Assets: There are specific assets and bequests in the Will in which a minor beneficiary has a direct interest—including property, a vehicle, and personal belongings. PGA has failed to give me any assurance or proof that these assets have been properly catalogled or safeguarded. Their current whereabouts and conditions remain entirely hidden from me.While one team member handling collections was initially diligent, the transparency completely deteriorated toward the latter part of that process. When questions became specific, they were either ignored or only partially answered.Due to these red flags, I conducted due diligence over the weekend. I discovered numerous horrific public reviews from other clients raising the exact same red flags: systemic communication failures, excessive delays, lack of transparency, and poor client service.When I posted generic, non-confidential questions on PGA’s public Facebook page asking how they reconcile these public complaints with their advertised commitment to client care and minor beneficiaries, PGA deleted my comments and blocked me from their page. Deleting legitimate questions and silencing a client instead of engaging professionally is a massive corporate red flag.Because a minor beneficiary’s constitutional and financial rights are being severely prejudiced, I have now formally escalated this matter. I am actively seeking intervention from the Legal Practice Council (LPC), the Master of the High Court, and the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development. I will not stop there—I will escalate this to investigative media platforms like Devi and Carte Blanche if necessary.I am not seeking special treatment. I am demanding transparency, strict accountability, professional diligence, and the immediate protection of a child’s livelihood. A deceased estate is not just a file to clear; it represents a parent's legacy and a child's future. Based on my experience, I strongly advise the public to exercise extreme caution before engaging PGA Inc

Late estate
I've open a file with Pga for my father's late estate in 2022 until now 2026 it has not been finalised and thier employees don't even give proper feed back. I've asked for financial assistance/advance 3 months ago until now I haven't received it and they don't say anything until I ask they will then respond I once told them that, I will not recommend people to thier services because I don't think they respect and care for thier clients. I was also sold lies that the estate will be finalised within or in six months. They are very bad, I once told them that I don't how these things work but I can see that someone is not doing thier job
