Career Background

After serving his articles at Krohn & Kie in Bloemfontein, Fritz Beukes was admitted as an Advocate in April 1997 by Judge Faan Hancke. He joined the financial services industry on various levels as a legal advisor for 18 years and consulted with more than 11 900 individual clients between 1997 to 2014 acquiring extensive knowledge in Estate &  Financial Planning.  

Fritz left the corporate arena in September 2014 to become actively involved in the daily  management of his own enterprises, Ambassador Trust, Ambassador Trust Admin and Ambassador Trust Consult, acting as an independent legal advisor. He is passionate about Estate & Business Planning using proficient methods and a combination of Corporate and Trust Law to avoid or reduce the typical tax, liquidity and continuity risks in the transfer of ownership, aspects and costs which are generally neglected to expedite valuable transactions. While Ambassador Trust facilitates the Registration, Amendment and Updates of Trust Deeds & Trustees with the Master's offices across South Africa, Ambassador Trust Admin facilitate the statutory Annual Trust Administration requirements for more than 700 South African trusts (Maintenance of a Trust Register, Resolutions in chronological order to avoid fraud, Minutes of the compulsory Annual General Meeting, on-line access for all interested parties etc.) to avoid alter ego and exposed Estate Planning  arrangements.  Ambassador Trust Consult develop and implement cost-effective, custom B-BBEE structures to optimise ownership solutions for our clients while incorporating tax, dayto-day management control and BEE certification efficiencies required for B-BBEE compliant business entities. 

Fritz is based in Pretoria-East, South Africa and works on a consultation basis with prospective clients.
