About us
Nont Fiduciary is a professional fiduciary services business based in Rosebank, Gauteng. We combine legal and fiduciary expertise with practical, day-to-day administration so clients are not left to “figure it out” when a crisis hits.
We work with individuals, families, business owners, and trustees who want a reliable partner for the long haul. We also understand that estate planning is not only about what happens after death. It is about putting the right structures in place now, so your money, property, and responsibilities can be managed properly in future.
Nont Fiduciary
Our fiduciary services
Nont Fiduciary offers a full suite of fiduciary services, with each service designed to support the others.
Estate planning
Estate planning is not only about death. It includes the practical planning steps that protect your estate while you are alive, reduce delays later, and help your family access what they need when it matters. We help you map assets, identify risks, plan for liquidity, and align your structure to your family situation and marital regime.
Trusts
Trusts can be powerful when they are properly designed and well administered. Nont Fiduciary assists with establishing trusts, trustee governance, ongoing trust administration, and compliance. We focus on disciplined record keeping, trustee resolutions, beneficiary management, and practical support so the trust functions as intended, not as a “file in a drawer”.
Administration of deceased estates
When someone passes away, the administrative process can be overwhelming for families. Nont Fiduciary has an established deceased estates department to handle the practical workload, reduce delays, and keep heirs informed. Our approach is structured, transparent, and focused on bringing the estate to finalisation efficiently.
Wills
A Will is one of the most important documents you will sign. An up-to-date Will helps ensure your estate is distributed according to your wishes. We assist with drafting and reviewing Wills, planning for minor children, and avoiding common validity and interpretation issues.
Get in touch
From planning your estate to administering it, we offer a complete suite of services delivered with rigour, discretion and care.
Fiduciary compliance
Modern fiduciary work is as much about compliance as it is about planning. Trust and estate administration in South Africa sits within strict legal frameworks and increasing transparency requirements. For trusts specifically, the Trust Property Control Act is central to governance and administration.
Our fiduciary compliance support includes:
- Maintaining accurate trust records, trustee resolutions, and decision trails
- Beneficial ownership and related transparency record keeping
- Practical guidance around FICA-aligned onboarding and ongoing updates
- Document management so that banks, auditors, and third parties can act quickly when needed
The result is simple: fewer delays, fewer disputes, and less risk for trustees and families.
Why Choose Nont Fiduciary
A long-term fiduciary partner
When planning is done properly, it should still work years from now. We build structures with real-world administration in mind, not theory.
Personal service with professional process
You get human support, backed by systems, checklists, and compliance discipline. That combination is what makes fiduciary services actually deliver results.
Practical, South African-specific guidance
We focus on the realities of South African estate administration, trust governance, and compliance demands, so your plan fits local requirements and local institutions.
Clarity in complex situations
Blended families, business interests, cross-border heirs, trust disputes, and liquidity problems are where many plans fail. We help you plan for the “what ifs” up front. If you want fiduciary services that are personal, structured, and built for South African realities, Crest Trust can help you plan with confidence and administer with discipline, so your legacy is protected and your family is supported.
F.A.Q.
Supporting Subheading
They depend on the role and the statute or common-law framework involved. For example, directors’ duties are reflected in the Companies Act (including care, skill and diligence and acting in the best interests of the company). Trustees’ duties are shaped by trust law and the Trust Property Control Act framework.
A helpful way to group them is: fiduciaries appointed by law or court (like executors and curators) and fiduciaries appointed by agreement (like trustees appointed under a trust deed).
Any situation where fees, commissions, or products are not clearly disclosed, or where the adviser cannot explain conflicts and how they are managed.
It’s the Pareto principle: roughly 80% of outcomes may come from 20% of causes. In advisory businesses it is often used to describe client or revenue concentration, not a legal rule.
They do different jobs. A financial adviser focuses on investments and financial planning. A fiduciary services firm focuses on legal structures, administration, and governance for estates, trusts, and related responsibilities. Many clients need both, working together.
