Winning the family home in a divorce settlement does not necessarily mean the property is legally yours.

A divorce order determines the rights and obligations between former spouses. It does not automatically change the title deed or release an ex spouse from liability under the mortgage bond.

Formal conveyancing and the necessary arrangements with the bank are still required to properly separate the parties’ interests in the property.

Cleopatra Mukhari explains what happens to the family home after divorce and why the legal process does not end when the divorce order is granted.

Trust administration in South Africa could be set for significant change.

The proposed Regulation of Trusts Bill 2026 seeks to replace the current Trust Property Control Act and introduce a more comprehensive framework for trust governance, transparency and compliance.

The proposed changes include expanded beneficial ownership requirements, annual financial statements and returns, stricter record keeping, greater oversight by the Master of the High Court, and penalties for non compliance.

The Bill is currently open for public comment until 11 September 2026.

Elani Volschenk unpacks the proposed legislation and highlights some of the changes trustees and other stakeholders should be aware of.

Can you own shares before you have actually provided the agreed consideration?

The answer is more complicated than it may first appear.

Where a share subscription involves future payment, deferred value or future performance, section 40(5) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 introduces important safeguards.

The shares may be held in trust by an independent stakeholder, and the subscriber’s rights may remain limited until the agreed consideration has been realised or the relevant obligations have been fulfilled.

This means that voting rights, appraisal rights, pre emptive rights and certain distributions may not operate in the same way as they would for fully paid shares.

Millisante' de Wee-Petersen and Shené Potgieter unpack how sections 40(5) and 40(6) regulate these arrangements and why careful structuring is essential.

What happens when a merger, scheme of arrangement or major corporate transaction is approved by the majority, but you disagree?

Section 164 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 may give a dissenting shareholder the right to exit by requiring the company to buy back their shares at fair value.

However, the right is subject to specific requirements, strict timelines and a potentially complex valuation process.

Ahmed Dhupli and Millisanté de Wee-Petersen unpack the appraisal remedy, including when it applies, who can rely on it and how “fair value” is determined: https://bit.ly/4qtC35a
