THE FACTS
WHEN Hendrick Phofedi from Tshwane lost his father, he had to apply for a letter of authority to claim his inheritance. But when he applied, he was told the court couldn’t assist him because they couldn’t locate his file.
Frustrated, he decided to write to the SunDefender to ask for help.
WHAT I DID
I spoke to the Master of the Court in Tshwane.
SOLUTION
An administrator at the court said they would open a dummy file for Hendrick so he could get his letter of authority.
We gave him the good news and he was very excited, hoping he would soon receive the letter of authority.
