What we do
Five areas, done properly, rather than a list of everything a law firm could conceivably take on.
Deceased Estates & Administration
Reporting the estate, dealing with the Master of the High Court, and carrying the administration through to distribution — so a grieving family is not also doing paperwork.
Wills & Trusts
A will that is valid, current and actually reflects what you want — and, where it genuinely helps, a trust structured for a real purpose rather than a fashionable one.
Notarial Services
Antenuptial contracts, notarial bonds, long leases and the authentication of documents for use abroad — executed before an admitted notary.
Commercial & Contract Law
Agreements drafted in plain language that hold up when relationships change — for owner-managed businesses that would rather prevent a dispute than fund one.
How we work
Tell us what you need
A short first conversation to establish whether we are the right firm for your matter, what it involves, and what it will take. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
We quote before we start
You receive a written quotation before a file is opened, separating our professional fee from the disbursements we pay on your behalf. No work begins until you have agreed to it.
You always know where it stands
Matters take the time they take — but you should never have to wonder. We tell you what stage yours has reached, what is holding it up, and who is being chased.
No surprise bills
The most common complaint people have about lawyers is not the fee. It is not knowing what the fee will be.
We quote in writing before we open a file, and we separate our professional fee from the disbursements we pay on your behalf — Deeds Office lodgement, transfer duty, clearance figures, Master's fees. If something changes the scope of the work, you hear about it before it is done, not afterwards on an invoice.
- A written quotation before any work begins
- Professional fees and disbursements itemised separately
- Scope changes discussed with you before they are incurred
- One person accountable for your matter, by name
Insights
Notes on the questions that come up most often, written to be understood rather than to be impressive.
Wills & Trusts
Living Wills in South Africa
A living will records what medical treatment you would accept or refuse if you could no longer say so yourself. It is not recognised in South African statute — but that is not the end of the question.
Wills & Trusts
Is a Foreign Will Required?
More South Africans hold assets offshore than ever before. Whether those assets need a separate will depends on what they are and where they sit — and getting it wrong can hold up an estate for years.

Why the Wording of a Bond Clause Decides the Sale
In Murphy v Durie the difference between a bond approved “in principle” and a bond formally approved decided whether there was a contract at all. The clause was the whole case.
What clients say
Aleisha provided an excellent service when she was appointed as the conveyancer for the transfer of a residential property in Kleinmond in 2023. She guided me (the purchaser) through the process step by step, she was always available to answer questions, and she kept me informed throughout. Aleisha provides a friendly and professional service, which I can recommend with confidence.
Aleisha Bezuidenhout acted as our conveyancer for the recent sale of our house. She kept us informed throughout the process, keeping us up to date with regular emails, telephone conversations and messages. Her professionalism at all times was much appreciated. This resulted in a speedy, well organised, satisfactory and happy experience for ourselves and the buyers of our home.
For a novice like me, I had absolutely no idea what it entailed to wind up my dear mum's estate after her passing. I have been guided carefully through the entire process, being informed exactly what documents I needed to provide. I really appreciate that all my phone calls and emails were responded to promptly. Everything she could handle without my input, she handled on my behalf. Considering all the time she has spent, I was really expecting an exorbitant bill and was pleasantly surprised when this was not the case. Thank you Aleisha, you have been an absolute saviour through this difficult time and really gone above and beyond.
Working with AB Legal Inc. has been an incredible experience. Aleisha has been efficient and fierce in representing me in a case with an insurance company where a personal liability claim was submitted. Not only did she negotiate an excellent outcome for me, but she acted with utter professionalism and communicated with me throughout the whole process. I was not left in the dark for a moment. I would highly recommend AB Legal Inc. to anyone seeking legal representation.
