Practice
What lands
on this desk
Most of it is property. The rest is what property tends to drag along with it: an estate to wind up, a trust to amend, an antenuptial contract wanted before Saturday.
Property transfers
ConveyancingFreehold and sectional title transfers from the signed offer through to registration in the Johannesburg Deeds Registry. This is the work the firm is known for.
Bond registration and cancellation
ConveyancingRegistering a new mortgage bond alongside the transfer, and cancelling the seller’s existing bond on the same day so nothing holds the file up.
Sectional title and estate transfers
ConveyancingLevy clearance from the body corporate or homeowners association, plus the rates clearance figures from Ekurhuleni.
Deceased estates
EstatesReporting the estate to the Master of the High Court, the liquidation and distribution account, and the transfer of a family home to the heirs.
Trusts and wills
EstatesDrafting a will that matches what you actually own, registering an inter vivos trust, and amending trustee appointments.
Notarial work
NotaryAntenuptial contracts before the wedding date, notarial bonds, servitudes, long leases, and certified copies for use abroad.
The day it registers, the keys are yours and not the bank’s.
Transfer
How a transfer actually runs
Six stages, in this order, lodged at the Johannesburg Deeds Registry. The one that stalls most files is the second, and it is the one you can start today.
Instruction
The estate agent or the seller sends through the signed offer to purchase. The file opens the same week.
FICA and documents
Identity documents, marriage certificates and proof of address from both sides. The stage that stalls most transfers when it is left late.
Signature
Seller and buyer sign the transfer documents at the office in Bartlett. You are told what each page does before you sign it.
Clearances
Rates figures from Ekurhuleni, levy clearance from the body corporate, and the transfer duty receipt from SARS.
Lodgement
Transfer, new bond and bond cancellation are lodged together at the Johannesburg Deeds Registry and examined there.
Registration
The deed is registered, the seller is paid, and the keys change hands. You get the call the day it happens.
The firm
Sixteen years
on the East Rand
The practice traded first as G & C van der Merwe Attorneys from Rondebult Road in Z Park, and marked nine years in July 2018. It works today from Block C, Unit C8 of El Ridge Office Park on Elizabeth Road, a few minutes off the N12, and lodges at the Johannesburg Deeds Registry.
Twenty-three people have reviewed it on Google and not one has written a complaint. What they write instead is that the transfer was efficient, that the staff were friendly, and that the owner knew the answer.
