What is a J187?

Deceased estate — final account is open for inspection

Once the executor has paid the deceased person's debts and taxes and worked out who inherits what, they file a "liquidation and distribution account" with the Master of the High Court. This is the plan for sharing out what's left of the estate.

A J187 notice announces that this plan is sitting at a specific Master's office for 21 days, where any creditor or heir can read it. If you think the plan is wrong, this is your window to object.

The J187 usually follows the J193 by several months — first the executor calls in the claims (J193), then they work out the final accounts (J187).
