When administering a deceased estate, the executor must publish a J193 Notice to Creditors in Free State in terms of Section 29 of the Administration of Estates Act 66 of 1965. This notice informs creditors that they have 30 days to lodge claims against the estate.
Publishing a J193 ensures that creditors and debtors of the estate are formally notified before the administration of the estate proceeds further.
