The Estate Sale Agreement is a specialized property sale contract used specifically for transferring property from a deceased estate to a purchaser in South Africa. This document is essential when executors or estate administrators need to sell property as part of estate administration. It differs from standard property sale agreements by including additional provisions related to executor authority, Master's consent, and estate administration requirements. The agreement must comply with multiple pieces of legislation, including the Alienation of Land Act, Administration of Estates Act, and Property Practitioners Act. It's particularly important that the agreement includes proper authorization from the Master of the High Court and addresses specific estate-related warranties and conditions. The document serves both as a sale agreement and as proof of the executor's proper administration of the estate assets.
