Cancelled Sale, Damaged Property. Who Pays?
Read more: https://www.nelsonborman.co.za/news-articles/post-232/

When a sale falls through, most people assume restitution means simply giving back the money and the property. A recent High Court decision shows it is rarely that straightforward, particularly if the property itself has changed in the interim.

The ruling explains how restoration costs should be worked out, and why the condition of the property when occupation begins can matter years later.

Can Family Conflict Kibosh a Trust?
Read more: https://www.nelsonborman.co.za/news-articles/post-231/

When a trust's founder dies, families often assume that whatever they said they wanted will be honoured, even if the trust deed was never changed to reflect it.

A recent Supreme Court of Appeal decision confirms that this is not how trusts work. What governs a trust after the founder's death is the trust deed itself, not the wishes they expressed at family meetings in their final years.

Whistleblower Reinstated: Protected Disclosures Act to the Rescue
Read more: https://www.nelsonborman.co.za/news-articles/post-229/

The “Whistleblower’s Act”, formally known as the Protected Disclosures Act, encourages employees to expose corruption, criminal activity and other wrongdoing in the workplace.

But what protections does the Act actually give whistleblowers. And what steps should employers and employees take to ensure they comply with it? We’ll answer all of these questions in the context of a recent Labour Court decision to reinstate a manager who was ostensibly fired for breaching ICT policies.

One Bad Letter and Your Eviction Falls Apart
Read more: https://www.nelsonborman.co.za/news-articles/post-228/

A tenant may be in clear breach of a lease, but that does not guarantee a successful eviction.

A recent High Court judgment shows how an unclear cancellation notice and a failure to follow the correct legal process can derail an otherwise strong case, leaving landlords with an expensive lesson in the importance of getting the basics right.

Your Dormant Trust Is Not Invisible to SARS
Read more: https://www.nelsonborman.co.za/news-articles/post-225/

Trusts remain a valuable estate planning and asset protection tool, but they also carry ongoing compliance obligations. Many trustees assume that a dormant trust with no income, assets, or activity can simply be left alone.

SARS has made it clear that inactivity does not remove a trust's compliance obligations. With penalties now being imposed for outstanding trust returns, dormant trusts may be attracting more attention than their trustees realise.

Dementia in the Family? Here Are Your Legal Options
Read more: https://www.nelsonborman.co.za/news-articles/post-227/

A dementia diagnosis affects far more than memory. As mental capacity declines, families are often confronted with difficult legal and financial decisions. Many are surprised to learn that a Power of Attorney may no longer be valid.

Understanding the alternatives can help protect a loved one's affairs before a crisis develops. Read on for the low down.

Estate Planning: The Ambush Tax Lurking in the Wings
Read more: https://www.nelsonborman.co.za/news-articles/post-223/

We all know that a comprehensive estate plan, with a carefully crafted will at its heart, is essential to ensure that we’re on track to leave our loved ones financially secure. And that of course requires us to quantify not only our assets, but also the costs that our estate will have to pay out of those assets before any distribution can find its way to our heirs.

In assessing those costs, don’t forget the tax angle – the taxman gets his cut in death as in life! In this article, we’ll focus on a cost that can be substantial but is easily overlooked: Capital Gains Tax (CGT). We’ll even show you how to calculate the estate’s likely CGT.
