Eiendomstransaksies met trusts – Let op die risiko’s!
Enige persoon wat eiendom namens ‘n trust wil verkoop of koop moet behoorlik en skriftelik gemagtig wees om namens die trust op te tree.
Alle ooreenkomste waarin onroerende eiendom gekoop of verkoop word, moet regtens op skrif wees en dit moet deur beide die koper en die verkoper onderteken word, of deur hul agente wat slegs kan optree indien hul sodanige skriftelike volmag van die koper of verkoper ontvang het. Die Hoë Hof het ook onlangs hieroor uitspraak gelewer en as volg bevind:
‘n Trustee van ‘n trust is nie ‘n agent van daardie trust nie. Sy magte om die trust te bind en ooreenkomste namens die trust aan te gaan is in geheel afhanklik van die magtiging van sy mede-trustees.
Enige ooreenkoms wat deur ‘n ongemagtigde trustee aangegaan en onderteken word, is nietig en onafdwingbaar.
Die trust sal ook nie met terugwerkende effek die ooreenkoms kan ratifiseer nie. Die ooreenkoms is vanuit die staanspoor (ab initio) nietig. Dit het dus geen regsgeldigheid nie en kan ook nie geratifiseer word nie
In hierdie betrokke geval het die verkoper van ‘n plaas, eerstehands kennis gemaak met die gevare daaraan verbonde om met ongemagtigde trustees van ‘n familietrust sake te doen. Hier het die trust reeds okkupasie van die plaas geneem en ook reeds die volle koopprys by die oordragprokureurs inbetaal. Die verkoper het probeer om oordrag van die eiendom te bewerkstellig. Die Hof het die transaksie egter as ab initio ongeldig verklaar en die verkoper was onsuksesvol in sy poging om die ooreenkoms af te dwing.

CIPC (the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission) has published new procedures for deregistration of companies and close corporations.
You can apply to voluntarily deregister your corporate if either:
There are no forms to complete, just a letter on your company letterhead confirming its status and enclosing either:
There are several other formalities to be complied with, and also consequences to deregistration that you need to be prepared for including:
Although the company will no longer exist as a legal entity, its debts survive (albeit unenforceable against the company itself). As a result there is:
Continuing liability under any personal suretyships you may have signed, and
Continuing personal liability for any directors, “prescribed officers” (broadly, senior managers with “general executive control”) and shareholders who may have become liable for any company debt “in respect of any act or omission that took place before the company was removed from the register”.
