legal expert would advise that you have an Ante – Nuptial Contract in place. Here he explains why this is crucial in protecting your assets: The usual process to be married Out of Community of Property is to enter into an ante nuptial contract before the marriage. The contract will have clauses in it stating:
  • That there shall be no community of property;
  • That there shall be no community of profit or loss; and
  • That the accrual system provided for in Chapter 1 of the Matrimonial Property Act, no 88 of 1984 is expressly excluded from the marriage.
However, if you did not do so, there is a way of changing your matrimonial property regime from In Community of Property to Out of Community of Property. For this, you need the consent of the High Court in your Jurisdiction. Here you will make use of section 21 of the Matrimonial Property Act 88 of 1984.
