Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan yesterday delivered his 2017 budget speech and the next few days will undoubtedly bring about much analysis and dissection of the provisions announced (as well as what was not announced) by all corners of society.

Tax wise, the most significant change for property investors will undoubtedly be the adjustment in the transfer duty threshold to R900 000.00 (up from R750 000.00) from the 1st of March 2017.

Attorneys often emphasise the fact that you should have a will drawn up and revise it regularly in order to facilitate the bequeathing of your possessions after your death. Many people still omit to do this. The problem is that, should a person die without leaving a valid will, in other words intestate, his/her estate will be administered and distributed according to the stipulations of the Intestate Succession Act No 81 of 1987.
