IGNORANCE OF EMPLOYEE IN RESPECT OF THE MASTER OF THE HIGH COURT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR A DECEASED ESTATE

My client's spouse passed away on 8 November 2022 with an estate worth less than R250 000. The Master of the High Court requires a certificate of proof of the deceased's account as well as the balance therein in order to issued the Letters of Authority. The surviving spouse requested same and was advised that the information would not be given to her until she produces Letters of Authority. This is a catch 22. Please assist the client to obtain the required information.
