What is Estate Expense Cover
Estate Expense Cover pays cash directly into your estate in the event of death from both natural and accidental causes, to cover the fees and costs associated with winding up your estate.
The first 10% of the cash, up to a maximum of R 50,000.00, is paid to your nominated beneficiary within 48 hours of the claim being accepted. This benefit may be used to cover immediate expenses incurred in the event of death.

Tips
- Always have a beneficiary nominated. Without a beneficiary nomination the initial cash payment of 10%, up to a maximum of R 50,000.00, will also fall within your estate and that means a delay in getting it to the people who need it most, your loved ones.
- If you are married it is always good to nominate your spouse as a beneficiary. By doing this you will save on estate duty.
- Have your will regularly updated. It is the only way to ensure that your assets go to the right people after your death.
