🏆 Three Years. One Community. So Much Gratitude.

Best of Mossel Bay | 2024 • 2025 • 2026

We are deeply honoured and incredibly grateful to share that Rauch Gertenbach Inc. has been voted Best Attorney / Law Firm in Mossel Bay for three consecutive years, 2024, 2025 and 2026.

In 2026, we are equally humbled to have been recognised as Best Business Consulting Company.

These awards mean far more to us than a title. They represent the trust of the people and businesses we have had the privilege of serving, and that is something we never take for granted.

Since 1922, our firm has had the privilege of growing alongside the communities we serve. Today, with offices in Mossel Bay, Hartenbos and George, we remain committed to the values that have guided us for more than a century: integrity, professionalism, personal service and practical legal solutions.

A sincere congratulations to our incredible team. This recognition belongs to every attorney, candidate attorney and staff member whose dedication makes our work possible every day.

And most importantly, thank you, Mossel Bay. Thank you to our clients, supporters and community for choosing us, trusting us and continuing to walk this journey with us.

As our director, Jaco Fourie, so aptly put it: being voted for by our loyal clients three years in a row is “both a privilege and very humbling.”

We are truly grateful.

Rauch Gertenbach Inc.
A century of trust. A future of excellence.

When Can a Court Look Beyond a Trust?

A trust is a separate legal structure, but its existence does not automatically prevent a court from examining how it operates. In appropriate divorce matters, the court may consider whether one spouse exercised effective control over the trust and whether assets would likely have been held personally without the trust arrangement.

As established in Badenhorst v Badenhorst, this requires careful consideration of the facts. Professional legal advice is essential when trust assets and matrimonial claims intersect.

Why Do Trusts Matter in Divorce?

In a marriage subject to the accrual system, trusts can become important when assessing each spouse’s estate and potential accrual claim. While trusts are legitimate legal structures, questions may arise where assets are transferred to, funded through, or accumulated within a trust during the marriage.

The key issue is whether the trust structure affected the value of a spouse’s estate for matrimonial purposes. Professional legal advice can help you understand your rights and position.

Trusts and Divorce: Know the Legal Position

Under South African law, trust assets are generally separate from the estates of founders, trustees and beneficiaries. However, this separation depends on administration. If trustees fail to act independently, disregard the trust deed, or treat trust property as personal property, a court may scrutinise the arrangement.

Trust assets are not automatically included in a spouse’s estate, nor beyond scrutiny. Advice can help you understand your rights and position when divorce involves trust assets.

Trusts and Divorce: What You Need to Know

A trust is a legitimate legal structure, but during divorce proceedings, assets held by a trust may come under closer scrutiny, particularly where the accrual system applies.

The key question is whether the trust has genuinely operated independently and in accordance with its deed and the law. If you are concerned about assets held in a trust, professional legal advice can help you understand your rights and position.
