Frequently Asked Questions
A Will ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your passing. Without a valid Will, your estate will be administered in terms of South African intestate succession laws, which may not reflect your intentions.
An Offer to Purchase becomes a legally binding agreement once it has been signed by both the buyer and seller and all conditions have been met. As a result, a purchaser or seller cannot simply change their mind and cancel the agreement without legal consequences.
Whether an Offer to Purchase can be cancelled depends on the specific terms of the agreement and the circumstances involved. In some cases, cancellation may be possible if a suspensive condition is not fulfilled (for example, bond approval is not obtained within the agreed timeframe) or if one of the parties breaches the agreement.
If you wish to cancel a signed Offer to Purchase, it is important to obtain legal advice before taking any action. An attorney can review the agreement, explain your rights and obligations, and advise on the best course of action.

The transfer of a property typically takes between 8 and 12 weeks, depending on factors such as bond approval, rates clearances, compliance certificates, and the efficiency of all parties involved in the transaction.
FICA requirements generally include a valid identity document or passport, proof of residential address, and, where applicable, additional documentation relating to a company, trust, or source of funds. Specific requirements may vary depending on the nature of the transaction.
If a person dies without a valid Will, their estate is distributed according to the Intestate Succession Act. This means that assets will be inherited by family members in a prescribed order, determined by law, rather than according to the deceased's personal wishes.
Yes. In South Africa, property transfers must be attended to by a qualified Conveyancer. A conveyancing attorney ensures that all legal requirements are met and that ownership is transferred correctly and securely.
An attorney can provide legal advice, draft and review settlement agreements, assist with child custody and maintenance matters, and represent you throughout the divorce process to ensure that your rights and interests are protected.
It is advisable to seek legal advice as soon as possible. Early intervention often helps clarify your rights and obligations, preserves important evidence, and may lead to a quicker and more cost-effective resolution.
A landlord may not personally remove a tenant from a property, change the locks, disconnect services, or force the tenant to leave without following the proper legal process. In South Africa, evictions must be carried out in accordance with the Prevention of Illegal Eviction from and Unlawful Occupation of Land Act (PIE Act).
If a tenant has breached the lease agreement, such as by failing to pay rent, the landlord must first follow the terms of the lease and provide the required notices. If the matter cannot be resolved, an application for eviction may be brought before the court. Only a court can grant an eviction order, and the sheriff of the court is responsible for carrying out the eviction if necessary.
Seeking legal advice early can help landlords protect their rights while ensuring compliance with the law.
