Family Trust explained

To ensure that your assets are safe and protected, you may want to consider a family trust. Having a family trust means that your assets will be kept safe and secure for the trust beneficiaries – those who will be benefiting from the trust. Furthermore, the trustee will not enjoy personal benefits of the trust but will simply be holding the assets for the trust beneficiaries. [caption id="attachment_4576" align="alignleft" width="300"] Call our law offices on: 0211110090
Email us at: [email protected][/caption] Exactly how is this different from your Last Will and Testament? It is simple. The will takes effect only after one’s death while the trust can be executed in your living days. For more legal advice on professional legal drafting of family trust and wills, call our law offices on 021 424 3487 today and have an online appointment made for you today.

Trust registration South Africa

• Understand why you are setting up the trust: think about the purpose of the trust.
• What type of trust you would like to set up: find out more about the different type of trusts and make a call as to which trust you will require.
• Property and assets: think about how you like to set out the rules of the trust and think about how this will govern your property and assets.
• Beneficiaries: the person who will benefit from your assets. Think about who your beneficiaries are and how they will benefit – will it be a few beneficiaries or will it be an institution?
• Trustee: this is the one who is in charge of the trust. He/she must understand the expectations and rules of the trust and ensure that all is in order.
• Rules: different trusts have different rules. Your legal expert will explain this you when attempting to register your trust. It is important that the rules are carried out accordingly.

Trust vs Will

Divorce Court Cape Town

Divorce is an emotional, whip-lashing experience for every family. Each divorce is governed by its own set of rules and values. Many times, the manner in which a divorce is settled is influenced by tradition and religion. Having said that, a Hindu couple for instance, may get married by a Priest and a Muslim couple may get married by an Imam. Even so, due to the complex nature of child custody and child maintenance matters, these couples may have to settle matters in court. [caption id="attachment_4360" align="alignleft" width="300"] Call us on: 0211110090
Email: [email protected][/caption] Divorces are most likely to take place in the High Court.  This can be a dreadful, costly process – needless to say a legal drag caused by pending divorces on court rolls waiting to go on trial. Fortunately, the Regional Court of the Magistrate Court also deals with divorces which lessens the divorce cases dealt by the High Court.

How do I go about a divorce in South Africa?

Online divorce South Africa

I was unhappy with the decision of the Maintenance Court, so I appealed to the High Court of South Africa

I had a very terrible experience in the maintenance court recently. I am the mother of two minor children, ages seven and eight. They were both born and raised in South Africa. The father of my minor children has not been involved in their lives since they were very young. Soon after my second child was born, the father of my minor children went missing. All I had was the details of his sister. However, she also did not know where he was. Or at least that is what she told me.

I had to care for the minor children on my own

It is hard being a single parent. I had to attend to all their needs and expenses without the assistance of the biological father. This was very hard as a single parent. I had some help from my parents, but they are retired and have limited means. At least I saved on daycare costs, as they would collect and take the minor children to daycare while I was at work.

Finding the biological father via Facebook

Two years ago, I found out all the whereabouts of their biological father via social media. He posted pictures of himself attending a work function on Facebook.  I then approached the biological father through his work and asked him for assistance regarding the maintenance of the minor children. Both the minor children would have attended school the following year, and I would not have been able to pay the school fees alone.

The father’s refusal to pay child support

The father was adamant that he could not afford to pay child support and told me to apply for a childcare grant. He must have been earning a considerable income, seeing that he was working in a senior position at the company. Furthermore, as shown on his social media profile, he lived an extravagant life. I could not accept that the father was not willing to take any responsibility for the minor children.

Seeking legal assistance from a lawyer and the maintenance court

I then approached an attorney for assistance in obtaining child maintenance from the biological father. I could not afford the legal fees to assist me going forward, as I could not afford to pay for the minor children’s school expenses. I then approached the maintenance court for assistance, and on his advice, the maintenance clerk assisted me in launching an application for child maintenance against the biological father. The biological father was a party in the maintenance court proceedings, and we both appeared before the maintenance officer.

Father’s lack of co-operation

The biological father was not very cooperative in this matter. He did not provide his banking details and said he had not been working for a very long time. After I complained about the documentation he disclosed, the maintenance court instructed the maintenance investigator to investigate the biological father’s affairs. The investigator then found out that the father was earning a large income and had been working since I last saw him many years ago. The maintenance officer uncovered the father’s pay slips and bank statements, revealing his substantial income. The maintenance officer’s investigation revealed the father’s investments and assets, including an immovable property and two cars.

Formal maintenance enquiry – What a disappointment

The matter is then sent for a formal maintenance enquiry before a maintenance magistrate. This is where the problems occurred. The maintenance court never considered any of the information I provided them regarding the expenditure of the minor children. They mainly focused on my ability to care for the minor children and simultaneously disregarded the fact that the father earned much more and could maintain the minor children. The maintenance court wanted me to look after the needs of the minor children on my own and for the father to pay a small amount of maintenance towards the minor children. Once all the evidence had been presented to the maintenance magistrate, she ruled that the father would pay a small amount of maintenance towards minor children. Although the father earns much more than me, he was only ordered to pay approximately 10% of the minor children’s expenditure. I was very disappointed about this.

Taking the Maintenance Court on Appeal

I then again approached an attorney for legal assistance in this regard. All I could do was ask the attorney for advice regarding my case. The attorney advised me that, given the circumstances and the evidence presented, I should appeal the decision of the maintenance magistrate. This is what I did. I appealed on my own and requested reasons for the magistrate’s decision. The magistrate decided that because I earn a salary and the minor children live with me, I should pay most of the minor children’s expenditures. According to my attorney, this was not in line with the law and should not be allowed. The magistrate made a mistake when it ordered the father to pay only 10% of the minor children’s expenditure despite him earning much more than me.

Appealing the maintenance court decision to the High Court

The appeal proceeded to the High Court, where I was successful. The High Court reviewed the maintenance court’s evidence and concluded that the magistrate erred in his decision. The High Court further ordered that the biological father should pay for half of all the minor children’s expenditures. This included medical aid, educational expenses, and day-to-day expenses. I am very grateful to the High Court for assisting me in this matter and collecting the significant state’s decision.

Relocation with my minor child to Thailand, Phuket (Consent and Refusal) – Advocate Muhammad Abduroaf

The world is becoming a much smaller place, and technology plays a huge role. People are moving across the world for employment, love and happiness, something that was not the norm a few decades ago. There is no reason why you should remain in South Africa if you can find a better life for yourself and your family overseas. Moving overseas may provide you with the quality of life you want or the possibility of experiencing things you always wanted. The same applies to your child or children relocating with you.

Relocation of your minor child to Phuket, Thailand

If you are single and do not have any minor children, then moving around the world would not be too complicated. All you need to do is ensure that you have the necessary travel documentation and travel ticket (and spending money), and off you go. However, if you want to travel with your minor children (for example, ages three or four) or relocate to another country, things may not be that simple. Firstly, if there is another parent, and he or she has parental responsibilities and rights, then his or her consent is required. For example, let us say you live in Brakpan or Newcastle, South Africa, and you want to relocate to Phuket, Thailand, you would require the other parent’s consent to leave South Africa with your minor child. This can cause challenges, especially if the staying parent (in South Africa) does not agree to the relocation.

What about Passport Consent to travel or relocate to Phuket, Thailand?

The same applies when it comes to your minor child applying for a South African passport to relocate to Thailand, or any country. Both parents who have parental responsibilities and rights of guardianship will have to consent to the minor child’s passport application as well. In this regard, both parents have to be at the Department of Home Affairs (or the relevant bank that also assists with passport application) when making the Application with the minor child. This can be challenging if you have a disinterested parent who does not want to cooperate with the passport application. As you will see later, legal action would need to be taken.

What are the steps to follow when I want to relocate to Phuket, Thailand with my minor child? There is another parent.

To simplify the process for relocation, the first step would be to receive the other parent’s consent in principle for the relocation and that he or she will co-operate in this regard. Once that has been resolved, the parent relocating would need to make the appointment for the minor child’s passport application as well as the application for the relevant VISA. Each country has different requirements; however, seeing that it is a relocation, you need to apply for the correct VISA. For that, you need the Passport. Once the visa and travel arrangements have been finalised, the parent remaining behind will sign a parental consent letter for the international travel. That letter can be found on the Department of Home Affairs website. Basically, the parent remaining behind would state that he or she gives consent for the minor child to leave the Republic of South Africa and travel and/or relocate to Phuket, Thailand.

What can I do if the other parent does not want to consent to the minor child’s relocation to Phuket, Thailand?

If the parent remaining in South Africa does not want to consent to the minor child’s passport application and/or his or her relocation to Phuket, Thailand, then you would need to approach the Court. The Court, as upper guardian of the minor child, may order that the parent’s consent for the passport application and relocation be dispensed with. What this entails is submitting Court documents explaining why you want to relocate to Phuket, Thailand. The other parent would also have an opportunity to give reasons why he or she objects. At the end of the process, the Court would determine what is in the minor child’s best interests. If it is in the minor child’s best interests to relocate to Phuket, Thailand, the Court would make it possible despite the issue of consent or refusal.

What is the first step I should take if the other parent does not want to consent to the minor child’s passport application and/or relocation to Phuket, Thailand?

If the other parent does not want to consent to the passport application and/or the relocation of the minor child to Phuket, Thailand – in that case, we suggest you approach an attorney or advocate (trust account) to assist you with the legal process. He or she would then contact the other parent explaining the reasons for the relocation and request the necessary consent. If the parent remaining in South Africa does still not agree to the passport application and/or to the relocation to Phuket, Thailand, then the attorney or advocate will proceed to take the matter to court. The legal route can be expensive. However, it is necessary to make the relocation of the minor child possible. You may also attend to the legal process yourself.

Civil Appeals to the Western Cape High Court

Did you know that if you are not satisfied with a decision in a court matter, you can appeal to the High Court? Someone might appeal a court’s decision for several reasons, typically revolving around the belief that an error was made during the trial or hearing or in the court’s interpretation of the law. Here are the main reasons for appealing a court decision:

Legal Errors

The appellant believes that the trial court made errors in applying or interpreting the law. This could include improperly admitting or excluding evidence or misinterpreting legal principles.

Procedural Errors

There were mistakes in the way the trial was conducted, such as improper procedures that could have affected the outcome. Examples include not following proper courtroom protocol or violating the defendant’s right to a fair trial.

Evidence Issues

The appellant might argue that crucial evidence was wrongly admitted or excluded or that there was insufficient evidence to justify the verdict reached by the magistrate or the judge.

Abuse of Discretion

The trial judge made decisions that are seen as unreasonable or arbitrary, such as unfairly limiting the scope of examination of witnesses or making biased rulings on motions.

New Evidence

New evidence has emerged that could potentially change the outcome of the case. This is more common in criminal cases, where new evidence might show the defendant’s innocence.

Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

In criminal cases, the defendant might argue that their attorney did not provide competent legal representation, thereby affecting the trial’s outcome. Appeals are typically reviewed by a higher court, which examines the record of the proceedings from the lower court to determine if there were significant errors that affected the case’s outcome. If the appellate court finds that errors were indeed made, it might reverse the decision, order a new trial, or modify the lower court’s decision. If no significant errors are found, the original decision is usually upheld.
