🏡 WHO GETS THE HOUSE AFTER DIVORCE?

One of the most common questions during a divorce is: "Who keeps the house?" The answer depends on your matrimonial property regime, the terms of your divorce settlement and, where applicable, your home loan.

Whether one spouse keeps the property, the property is sold or joint ownership continues for a period, it's important to understand that ownership only changes once the transfer has been registered in the Deeds Office.

At Deon Van der Merwe Attorneys Inc, we guide our clients through every step of the divorce and property transfer process, ensuring that their rights and interests are protected.

The 3-Month Rule After Divorce

Divorce doesn't automatically update your Will.

If you pass away within 3 months of your divorce, the law generally presumes you did not intend your former spouse to inherit. After that period, if your Will remains unchanged, your ex-spouse may still inherit in terms of your existing Will.

Don't leave your estate to chance. Review your:
✔️ Will
✔️ Beneficiaries
✔️ Life policies

⚖️ Contact Deon Van der Merwe Attorneys to ensure your estate plan reflects your wishes.

⚖️ Different Divorces. Different Challenges. The Right Legal Strategy Makes All the Difference.

Not every divorce follows the same path. Some couples are able to reach agreement amicably, while others require experienced legal representation to protect their rights and secure a fair outcome.

Understanding the different types of divorce is the first step towards making informed decisions for your future.

✔️ Uncontested Divorce – When both parties agree and the divorce proceeds smoothly with minimal conflict.

✔️ Settled Divorce – Where disputes are resolved through negotiation and recorded in a legally binding Settlement Agreement.

✔️ Contested Divorce – When agreement cannot be reached and the Court is required to determine issues such as:
- Care and contact of children
- Division of assets
- Pension interests
- Spousal Support and maintenance

At Deon Van der Merwe Attorneys Inc, we have 30 years of experience guiding clients through every stage of the divorce process.

⚖️ POWER OF ATTORNEY VS CURATORSHIP ⚖️

Many people don't realise that in South Africa, a Power of Attorney is no longer valid once a person loses mental capacity. When this happens, a Curatorship Application to the High Court may be required.

Our latest series explains:
✔️ The key differences between a Power of Attorney and Curatorship
✔️ When each option should be used
✔️ Who appoints the decision-maker
✔️ How authority is granted
✔️ Court oversight and accountability
✔️ Why acting early can protect your loved ones and their assets

Understanding these legal tools before a crisis arises can save your family significant time, expense and unnecessary stress.

If you are caring for an elderly parent, a family member living with dementia, Alzheimer's disease, a brain injury or another condition affecting decision-making, it is important to obtain legal advice before important financial or personal decisions need to be made.

At Deon Van der Merwe Attorneys Inc, we have over 30 years of legal experience assisting families with:
⚖️ Powers of Attorney
⚖️ Curatorship Applications
⚖️ Estate Planning
⚖️ Wills & Trusts

⚖️ CURATORSHIP | Understanding the Different Types of Curators in South Africa

Not every Curator performs the same role. Depending on a person's circumstances, the High Court may appoint different types of Curators, each with specific responsibilities and powers.

In this series, we explain the three main types of Curators appointed in South Africa:
🔹 Curator ad Litem
🔹 Curator Bonis
🔹 Curator Personae

Every curatorship is unique and the Court carefully determines which form of protection is appropriate based on the individual's needs.

If you are concerned that a loved one is no longer able to manage their affairs due to illness, injury, dementia or another condition, obtaining the correct legal advice is essential.

📞 Deon Van der Merwe Attorneys Inc. has extensive experience in Curatorship Applications and can guide you through every step of the process with professionalism and compassion.
