Ná my mees onlangse rubriek oor korttermynversekering waarin ek eise in verband met huisinhoud bespreek het, fokus ek vandag op voertuie.

Ek wil begin deur die verskillende tipes dekking – omvattende, beperkte en derdeparty – te verduidelik.

A reader, whose permission to own a pet in a sectional title complex has been overturned, has approached our panel of experts.

He writes that he moved into the complex three years ago with permission from the developers to bring along pets.

Mense is nie altyd ten volle ingelig oor die belangrike aspekte rondom korttermynversekeringseise nie.

Die meeste sulke eise vind gewoonlik onder die huisinhoud-, motor- en alle risiko afdelings plaas en ek wil vandag by eersgenoemde stilstaan.

A reader has posed a question to our panel relating to the rights and obligations of a usufruct holder.

The person, who is entitled to the usufruct of the property in question, has lived there for seven years, but is no longer able to maintain it.

It is often said that people are a company’s most valuable asset and therefore unexpected death or disability – to a partner or employee – can be a serious risk factor for any business owner.

Years of dedication and hard work to build a sustainable business can be undone in a matter of seconds if your income generating “assets” are not protected.

A reader has posed a question on occupational rental to our panel on behalf of her daughter who lives abroad.

The latter sold her house in South Africa under a written agreement of sale, as is required in accordance with the Alienation of Land Act. The agreement, prepared by the estate agent, failed to make mention of occupational rental.

People use trusts for a wide variety of purposes, even though they often do not know or understand the legal rules applicable to them.

As a result, trusts are increasingly coming under scrutiny by our courts and you need to be confident that your trust deed is up to date and the trust documents in place.

A reader has shared the problems caused by tenants in a unit in a relatively small complex.

The owner of the unit lives out of town and it appears that the tenants come and go regularly. It is not even clear who the tenants are at any given time, since a variety of people inhabit the unit and the composition of the group changes regularly.
