INTRODUCTION
Taxes are something you can't avoid, even in death. When planning what will happen to your property and assets after you pass away, it's crucial to understand the different taxes that might apply. The three main taxes your chosen person (executor) will have to handle are income tax, capital gains tax, and estate duty. But there are other expenses to consider as well, like outstanding debts, maintenance and accrual claims, and more.
These taxes are imposed on the transfer of wealth or assets from the deceased person's estate to the people who inherit them, whether they have a will (testate) or not (intestate). In simple terms, when someone passes away, their assets go to their heirs, and this transfer could be subject to estate duty and other taxes. On the other hand, capital gains tax is a tax on the profit you make when you sell or transfer an asset.
To figure out if your estate will face these costs and how to manage them effectively, you'll need a thorough assessment. Fortunately, Myprotector provided you with the insights you need from a free assessment.
HOW IT WORKS
When you pass away, the policy pays the full sum assured value into the 'Late Estate' and gets used by the executor to wind-up your affairs. Your executor will administer and manage the funds on behalf of your listed beneficiaries. Myprotector will report to the high court and show how the funds are being managed within the law and in the most effective and efficient way possible.
