🌿National Gardening Day🌿

Gardening is not just about what grows out of the soil, it's about what grows inside you, patience, calm, joy and peace.
In law, as in the garden, the best results come from putting down deep roots, tending to the finer details and protecting what matters. Instead of working in the garden today, put down your spade and gloves, stand back, pause, breath and take notice of the beauty around you. Let's celebrate the beauty of nature! We don't do it often enough!

October Series: Trustees Could Face Personal Financial Consequences

▶️Trustees: compliance may become personal.

The Draft Regulation of Trusts Bill proposes administrative fines and penalties for non-compliance.

☢️One important aspect is that certain penalties would be payable by the Trustees personally, rather than simply being treated as another Trust expense.

This reinforces a fundamental principle of Trust administration:
⚡Being a Trustee comes with responsibility.

Trustees are expected to understand their duties, maintain proper records and administer Trust assets in accordance with the Trust deed and applicable law.

For anyone currently acting as a Trustee particularly of a family Trust, understanding your responsibilities may become more important than ever.

October Series: Who Are the People Behind Your Trust?

Trust information must stay up to date.

The Draft Regulation of Trusts Bill proposes stricter record-keeping requirements for Trusts.
Trustees would need to maintain complete and accurate information relating to:
• Founders
• Trustees
• Beneficiaries

And when certain information changes, those changes would need to be reported to the Master within 10 days.

This means changes within a Trust cannot simply be treated as an administrative detail to deal with “later”.
Accurate records + timely reporting = good Trust governance.

For Trustees, keeping Trust information current could become an even more important part of ongoing administration.

October Series: Trusts May Face More Annual Compliance

Your Trust may no longer be a “set it and forget it” structure.

One of the significant proposed changes in the Draft Regulation of Trusts Bill, 2026, is increased annual compliance.

Under the proposed framework, Trusts would generally be required to:

✔ Prepare annual financial statements
✔ Submit annual returns to the Master of the High Court
✔ Pay an annual compliance fee

This could have particular implications for family Trusts that have been inactive for years.

A Trust that was originally established simply to hold a family home or a small investment may still have ongoing governance and compliance obligations.

In other words: dormant does not necessarily mean exempt.

🌟🌟The exact requirements and exemptions will depend on the final legislation.

October Series: The Draft Regulation of Trusts Bill, 2026

South Africa’s Trust landscape may be about to change significantly.

The Department of Justice has introduced the Draft Regulation of Trusts Bill, 2026, which proposes to repeal and replace the existing Trust Property Control Act.

The Bill aims to:
• Modernise the legal framework governing Trusts
• Strengthen accountability and compliance
• Enhance the oversight role of the Master of the High Court
• Provide greater protection for Beneficiaries

If enacted in its current form, the Bill could fundamentally change how Trusts are administered and governed.

But what could this mean for your Trust❓
Over the next few posts, we unpack the proposed changes and what Trustees and Beneficiaries should be aware of.

Please note: The Bill is still in draft form and is subject to consultation and possible amendment.

OCTOBER SERIES INTRODUCTION

Understanding the Draft Regulation of Trusts Bill, 2026

Trusts have for long played an important role in South Africa. From protecting family assets and planning for future generations to holding property and investments.

But the way Trusts are managed could be set for significant change.

The Draft Regulation of Trusts Bill, 2026 proposes to repeal and replace the existing Trust Property Control Act and introduce a more comprehensive framework for the regulation, administration and oversight of Trusts.

For Trustees, Founders and Beneficiaries, this could mean greater accountability, increased compliance requirements and additional administrative responsibilities.

And for the many family Trusts that have been sitting quietly in the background for years, the proposed changes could bring some important questions to the forefront.
👉What would the new requirements mean?
👉Who could be affected?
👉What responsibilities could Trustees face?
👉And will your Trust still serve the purpose for which it was originally created?

Throughout October, we will unpack the proposed changes one topic at a time, helping you understand what is currently being proposed and what it could mean for your Trust.

❗One important note: The Bill is currently still in draft form and remains subject to consultation and possible amendment. It is not yet final legislation.

October Series: Understanding Trusts. Understanding the proposed changes. Understanding what may lie ahead.
