An executor’s Notice to Creditors does its job only if creditors can find it. If a claim is disputed, an objection is lodged against a Liquidation and Distribution Account, or the Master of the High Court queries an estate file, the executor must be able to show where and when the notice appeared.
Take two minutes. Open the last J193 or J187 notice you placed and check the following.
- Can you find it online right now, without a login or a subscription?
- Can a creditor find it by searching the name of the deceased on the platform it is published on?
- Does the online record show the publication date?
- Will it still be available after the 30-day claim period, or the 21-day inspection period, has ended?
- Do you hold a permanent proof of publication record for the estate file?
If any answer is no, your publication record depends on a system you don’t control.
