Some of the best stories begin with a bold decision.
Today, exactly 55 years ago, Philip Matthee chose to forge his own path, turning uncertainty into opportunity and establishing a legal practice that would become a cornerstone of the Fochville community. Armed with determination, legal expertise, and a commitment to serving people, he opened the doors of what would grow into Matthee Attorneys Inc., laying the foundation for a legacy that continues to thrive today.

Over the years, the firm has become much more than a legal practice. It is a family legacy passed from one generation to the next, with Dawid Matthee and, more recently, Karmen Matthee joining the firm and carrying forward the values that have defined it since day one. As we celebrate 55 years of service, we honour the vision of our founder, appreciate the loyalty of our clients, and remain committed to providing approachable, trusted legal support. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey for more than half a century.

To all our clients: THANK YOU!

Of course, this milestone would not have been possible without the remarkable people who helped build Matthee Attorneys Inc. over the past 55 years.
As owner and director, Dawid Matthee would like to extend his sincere gratitude to every staff member, past and present, whose dedication, professionalism, and hard work have contributed to the firm's success. "Our success would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of every staff member who has served Matthee Attorneys over the past 55 years. We salute you."

You’re getting married?
Congratulations! First time or a fabulous sequel??
Excited? ✅😁
Rings sorted? ✅💍
Dress and suit planned? ✅👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️

Antenup… What now?! YES! The antenuptial contract.
What? WHY?

Well, let us tell you why…

In South Africa, if you get married without an antenuptial contract, you’re automatically married in community of property - which means what’s yours is theirs… and what’s theirs is yours (including their debt! 🫪).

By signing an antenuptial contract (also known as an ANC), you can decide upfront:
• How your assets are shared (or not!)
• How debts are handled
• What happens financially if things change
Get yours drafted and signed before your wedding day. Think of it as a plan for protection, not a plan for divorce. Rather make love, not war!

🔥DOUBLE BONUS! 🔥
At Matthee Attorneys we have two Notaries that can assist. And! Draft your ANC with us and get 50% OFF your will! You will thank us later!

Wills 101: Because Guessing Your Wishes Isn’t a Plan!

Let’s be honest - hoping your family will “just figure it out” one day isn’t a solid estate plan.
A valid will ensures your wishes are clear, your loved ones are protected, and no one is left arguing over who gets what.

Did you know?
• Your will must be in writing.
• You must sign every page, in front of two competent witnesses.
• Witnesses (and their spouses) cannot benefit from your will.
• Anyone - 16 years or older- can make a valid will (if mentally capable).
• You should clearly set out who inherits what.
• Make provision for minor beneficiaries and guardianship if needed.
• You must appoint a trusted executor to carry out your wishes.
• Keep your original will safe - copies don’t count!

One more thing: if your will isn’t done correctly, it can cause delays, disputes, or even be declared invalid!

Like and follow us for important legal updates and practical advice that affects your everyday life. We’ve been helping families get it right since 1971!

Matthee Attorneys Inc. was founded on determination, courage, and perhaps a reluctance to unpack moving boxes yet again...

In 1959, Philip Matthee served as a magistrate in Fochville. When he was given only 24 hours' notice to relocate by the Department of Justice, he chose a different path. Tired of moving his wife and six children from town to town, he resigned, obtained his B.Iuris degree at Potchefstroom University, completed his articles in Fochville, and, in 1971, opened Philip Matthee Attorneys with just one file and a secretary in the Saridan Building on Loopspruit Avenue.

His eldest son, Philip Matthee Jr., later joined the practice before continuing his career in Vereeniging. In 1998, his youngest son, Dawid Matthee, joined the firm and remains a director of what is now Matthee Attorneys Inc.

In 2019, Karmen Matthee joined her father in the practice after completing her LLB degree, becoming the third generation of the Matthee family to serve clients! Today, more than five decades later, the firm continues to build on the values of integrity, dedication, and personal service established by its founder.

Nearly 55 years after opening its doors, Matthee Attorneys Inc. remains firmly rooted in the Fochville community, proudly serving generations of clients and always ready to assist with dedication, integrity, and a personal touch!
