Attorney & Accountant
Master’s Office Support
Discreet, professional back-office support for firms that need a reliable Pretoria correspondent. White-label lodgement, defect-checking, collection and written reporting. Pay per instruction.
Why use a Pretoria correspondent?
If your firm is outside Pretoria, sending a staff member to lodge or collect documents at the Pretoria Master’s Office costs more in time than the matter is worth. The same applies if you handle only occasional Pretoria-jurisdiction estates.
We attend the Pretoria Master daily. You get reliable lodgement, defect-checking, collection and follow-up at fixed per-attendance fees, with a written report on each visit. No retainer, no minimum volume.
What we handle
How it works
Send instruction
By email or our online instruction form. Attach documents, deadline and reference number.
We quote (or apply fixed fee)
Confirmation back within one working hour. Fixed fees apply to standard attendances.
Attendance
Same-day if instruction received before 10:00. Otherwise next working day.
Written report & invoice
Within 24 hours. Single invoice per matter, billed to your firm’s account.
White-label promise
Your client never sees us. All correspondence to your client is on your firm’s letterhead. The Master deals with you, not us — we lodge under your firm’s reference. Our invoice is to your firm only.
If you prefer to disclose our role, you may — but the default is full white-label.

Common questions
Is there a minimum volume?
No. You can send us a single instruction. Pay-per-instruction is the default.
How are you billed?
Single invoice per matter, on completion of the attendance, payable on 30 days. Larger volumes can be invoiced monthly in arrears.
Do you give Fidelity Fund certificate details?
Yes, on request. Louwrens Koen Attorneys is a registered law firm in good standing with the Legal Practice Council.
Can you draft documents, or only lodge?
Both. We have an in-house drafter (LLB, UNISA) and can prepare full reporting packs, trust deeds, J-forms and L&D accounts. Drafting and lodgement are quoted separately so you choose what to outsource.
Do you give referral commission?
No. Our fees are flat professional service fees. We do not pay or receive commission for referrals.
