Dodgy Deck: When a Property Defect is Your Problem, Not the Seller's
Read more: https://www.nelsonborman.co.za/news-articles/post-224/

A deck collapsed seven months after transfer. The buyers, convinced they’d been sold a raw prawn, headed to the courts.

Eight claims and twelve years later, they haven’t recouped a cent. A 2026 Western Cape High Court judgment draws a sharp line between what the law protects buyers against and what it does not.

Married Out of Community of Property? You May Still Be Entitled to a Share
Read more: https://www.nelsonborman.co.za/news-articles/post-221/

Couples who sign antenuptial contracts often believe they have permanently settled the question of money in their marriage. What is mine stays mine. What is yours stays yours.

Not so fast. The Constitutional Court recently expanded access to redistribution orders for spouses married out of community of property without accrual, particularly where strict enforcement of an antenuptial contract would produce unfair financial consequences at divorce. A 2025 KwaZulu-Natal High Court judgment shows what the redistribution remedy can deliver in practice.

Director Delinquency Declarations: Managing Your Risk
Read more: https://www.dotnews.co.za/Code/Article.aspx?qry=yKPR5eDKNlaukY9Ps7iCg6DDDf5IXaY12RwY-erlcvl3PERZC2F02qJhJl5ooDQdC6tMVLLEgT-0AEiwyiqOLm5-Oun8ScBypzi8N0ttWg8=-NOPAD

The rewards of company directorship come with a caution: the duties and responsibilities imposed on you by the Companies Act need constant management. Drop the ball on that and you could face some seriously negative consequences.

We’ll discuss one of those risks – the career-threatening risk of being declared a “delinquent” director – in the context of two recent court judgments which involved large amounts of money, seriously disaffected stakeholders, and 7-year bans from holding any position at director or senior management level.

We’ll end by sharing some thoughts on how you can manage those risks.

Considering Using Sequestration to Recover Levies? Think Again
Read more: https://www.dotnews.co.za/Code/Article.aspx?qry=yKPR5eDKNlaukY9Ps7iCg6DDDf5IXaY12RwY-erlcvl3PERZC2F02qJhJl5ooDQdC6tMVLLEgT-0AEiwyiqOLv2mE-6Ip5FIQb1uCw7Ckp8=-NOPAD

Unpaid levies can leave body corporates out of pocket and out of patience. When conventional debt recovery feels too slow, sequestration may seem like the obvious next step.

But a recent High Court judgment is a reminder that sequestration is not a debt-collection shortcut. The court refused an application by a body corporate that had failed to meet the strict statutory requirements. Before reaching for the nuclear option, body corporates should understand what the law actually requires.

Beyond Your Will: Leaving a Legacy
Read more: https://www.dotnews.co.za/Code/Article.aspx?qry=yKPR5eDKNlaukY9Ps7iCg6DDDf5IXaY12RwY-erlcvl3PERZC2F02qJhJl5ooDQdC6tMVLLEgT-0AEiwyiqOLrjfCQcu59Kv-6mrJlY2OUs=-NOPAD

Your will must always lie at the heart of your estate planning. But don’t concentrate solely on the financial wellbeing of your family after you are gone.

The personal legacy you leave them is also important. It focuses on your family’s values, history and heritage, supporting your heirs in living their lives to the fullest while preserving and enjoying the material wealth they inherit from you. But how do you create a personal legacy that will last for generations, and how does this fit into your overall estate planning? We share some practical suggestions on how to get started...

Your New Car’s a Lemon: Here’s How to Make Lemonade and Get Your Money Back

Read more: https://www.nelsonborman.co.za/news-articles/post-211/

You buy a second-hand vehicle and finance it through a bank. When you realise the vehicle is a complete lemon, you cancel the sale and return the vehicle. But the bank still wants its monthly instalments.

We have good news for you. The Supreme Court of Appeal has just held that a bank in that situation was, per the terms of its own agreement, the “supplier” of the vehicle and must refund to the buyer both the deposit and the monthly instalments she had paid it. How did that come about, and what must you prove to win your case?

Choose Your Conveyancer with Care! A Cautionary Tale of “Fraud Unravels All”

Read more: https://www.nelsonborman.co.za/news-articles/post-210/

Buying and selling a house is probably one of the most important financial transactions you will ever be involved in. Not to mention the emotional aspect of acquiring or letting go of your “home sweet home”.

This is why it’s vital to choose the right conveyancer. Case in point, a recent court battle which saw a couple losing ownership of what they had fondly believed to be their new house. A crooked attorney, in cahoots with her trustee husband, had defrauded both the original owner and the buyers at the end of the transfer chain. And in law, “fraud unravels all.”
