• THE 2017 BUDGET SPEECH - ESI Attorneys

  

  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. Mr Gordhan highlighted in his speech the value of economic transformation of the economy and stressed the importance of maintaining a culture of exceptional sound fiscal policy. 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.

• The STSM Act: What you need to know right now | CyberProp | 10-21

The reason, says Andrew Schaefer, MD of leading national property management company Trafalgar, is that the new legislation introduces a compulsory requirement for all schemes to establish and/ or maintain a substantial reserve fund to cover the future cost of any major maintenance projects or emergency repairs to common property. “The aim of this provision is to eliminate the need in due course for schemes to introduce onerous special levies to cover unexpected expenses, but in the short term it is likely to place an additional burden on most sectional title owners.”

• What happens if I die without a will?

  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.
