Many buyers assume that once the Offer to Purchase is signed, the property automatically becomes theirs.

The truth is that signing the offer creates a binding agreement, but ownership only transfers once the transaction has been registered in the Deeds Office.

Before registration can take place, several key steps must be completed, including bond approval (where applicable), obtaining clearance certificates, preparing the transfer documents, and lodging the transaction in the Deeds Office.

Understanding the transfer process helps buyers set realistic expectations and underscores the value of having an experienced conveyancing team managing the transaction from beginning to end.

Winding up an estate usually takes 12 - 18 months — and most delays don't come from the law firm, they come from delays that stem from external entities such as SARS, Bank's etc..

Knowing what to expect upfront won't make the loss easier, but it can make the process feel less overwhelming.

At McMaster & Engelbrecht, we walk alongside families through this — step by step, with patience and clarity, not just paperwork.

📩 If you're currently dealing with a deceased estate, or want to understand the process before you need to, send us a message. We're here to help.
