Paul Rush [10]

Note that the question is not clear as to whether the trustee has released the
property of the solvent spouse from the insolvent estate or not. The question has
been answered on the assumption that the property of the solvent spouse also
still vests in the trustee of the insolvent estate.

If the trustee has released the property, the transferor in the power of attorney
will be the trustee as well as the solvent spouse.

In the latter instance, the bond should be disposed of. In other words, the bond
must also be lodged at the deeds registry, together with the consent of the
mortgagee to the cancellation of the bond.

c) TRANSFER DUTY PAYABLE ON R2 500 000,00 (date of acquisition is 1

May 2015)
The first R750 000,00 is exempt from the payment of transfer duty
Above R750 000,00 up to R1 250 000,00 X 3% = R 15 000,00
Above R1 250 000,00 up to R1 750 000,00 X 6% = R 30 000,00
Above R1 750 000,00 up to R2 250 000,00 X 8% = R 40 000,00
Above R2 250 000,00 up to R2 500 000,00 X 11% = R 27 500,00
TOTAL AMOUNT OF TRANSFER DUTY PAYABLE = R112 500,00 [4]

Part 1 - 11 May 2016 Self-Study Deeds Course CC Page 12

d) Where the trustee transfer the property, it shall not be necessary to produce
the title deed of such property if the trustee certifies in writing that he has
been unable to obtain possession of such title deed- (regulation 51(2)).
Should co-owners be involved, then a certified copy of the title will have to be
issued.

According to section 56 a bond registered over a property to be transferred

(and the consent to cancellation by the mortgagee of such bond) does not
need to be lodged in the deeds registry where the transfer is effected by the
trustee of an insolvent estate. [6]

Note again that if the question was answered on the assumption that the
property of the solvent spouse has been released by the trustee -
a) an application in terms of regulation 68(1) had to be brought as there
are co-owners (of which only 1 is sequestrated) and both would be
transferors.

b) an application in terms of regulation 68(11) had to be brought for the

cancellation of the bond.

her heirs executors administrators or assigns [3]

8.2 If Koos were domiciled in South Africa, the legal consequences of his
marriage would have been determined by South African law. If Koos did not
enter into an antenuptial contract before his marriage, he would be married in
community of property to Sophie. In such an instance Koos it would not
have been possible for the donation to take place. [2]

8.3 Section 54 of the Income Tax Act provides that donations tax is payable on
the value of property disposed of under a donation by any resident. Although
Koos is a resident, section 56 of the Act makes provision for certain
exemptions from the payment of donations tax. Section 56 provides inter
alia that no donations tax is payable under a donation to or for the benefit of
the spouse of the donor who is not separated from him under a judicial order
or notarial deed of separation. In other words, no donations tax would be
payable. [5]

Question 14 - Model Answer [30]

14.1 If the developer did not reserve a real right of extension in his favour or if he
did, but such real right has lapsed, the right to extend the scheme vests in
the body corporate - (section 25(6)).

An application must be lodged in terms of section 15B(1)(d) of the Sectional

Titles Act, read together with section 68(1) of the Deeds Registries Act for
the noting of the lapse of the real right of extension before the body
corporate may obtain a certificate of real right of extension.

The body corporate is automatically vested with the right to extend the
scheme. However, if the body corporate wants to enter into legal commerce
with the right, the body corporate must first obtain a title deed for such right,
by means of lodging a certificate of real right of extension prepared
according to Form R.

When the body corporate lodges the certificate at the deeds registry for the
issuance thereof, it must be accompanied by-
a) the written consent of all the members of the body corporate; and
b) the written consent of every holder of a bond over a unit in the
scheme.

Part 1 - 11 May 2016 Self-Study Deeds Course CC Page 25

 c) Section 25(2) documentation

The body corporate can only exercise its right of extension (by
applying for the registration of the sectional plan of extension and the
incorporation of the additional sections and exclusive use areas in the
sectional title register concerned after having obtained -
a) the written consent of all its members; and
b) the written consent of the mortgagee of each unit in the scheme.

Part 2

Self-Study Deeds Course

Question 1 - Model answer [3]

Sandra will be required to consent to the entering into of the contract by Gary as
seller, as section 15(2)(b) of the Matrimonial property requires the consent of the
spouse in a marriage in community of property where the other spouse enters into
a contract for the alienation of immovable property.

It will also be required that Lisa consents to the entering into of the contract by
Colin, as purchaser. A spouse married in community of property may not without
the written consent of the other spouse enter into a contract as a purchaser of
immovable property by singing a contract of which the purchase price is payable in
more than two installments and is payable over a period exceeding one year (in
other words, a “contract” as defined in the Alienation of Land Act) - (section
15(2)(g)).

The consent required may, except where it is required for the registration of a deed
in a deeds registry, also be given by way of ratification within a reasonable time
after the act concerned.

Question 2 - Model answer [3]

Transfer duty in respect of the one-half share of the deceased is not payable, as is
it an exemption in terms of Section 9 of the Transfer Duty Act. However, the
payment of transfer duty is only exempt in respect of the property belonging to the
deceased, therefore transfer duty shall be payable on the one-half share which the
son receives from his mother. Transfer duty must be calculated on the bare
dominium value of the property. Thus: R2 500 000,00 (fair value of the whole

Part 2 - 11 May 2016 Self-Study Deeds Course CC Page 30

property 22) minus value of the habitatio equals the value of the bare dominium.
Transfer duty should be calculated on the answer to this sum and the answer
should then be divided by two.

As this first deed of transfer from the Municipality to X will only receive its T
number upon registration of such deed , simultaneously with the registration
of the transfer from X to Y, you do not at this stage have the T number. You
therefore leave it open. After registration of the two transfers, the
numbering division in the deeds office will stamp in the new number.

Question 5 - Model answer [5]

a) A certificate in terms of section 31(4)(a) of the Deeds Registries Act by the

expropriating authority to the effect that the provisions of any law in
connection with the change of ownership in consequence of the
expropriation have been complied with. [1]

b) The transferee shall produce an affidavit to the registrar that he has been
unable to obtain possession of the title deed and the registrar shall
thereupon endorse such transfer on the registry duplicate of such title deed
and if the original title deed is at any time lodged in his office, he shall make
a similar endorsement thereon - (section 31(2)(b)). [2]

c) The registrar shall endorse the fact of such transfer on the registry duplicate
of the bond and if the original bond is at any time lodged in his office he shall
make a similar endorsement thereon - (section 31(1). Thus neither the bond
nor the consent of the mortgagee should be lodged. [1]

d) No rates clearance certificate is required. [1]

Question 6 - Model answer 26 [12]

6.1 His wife is entitled to R125 000,00 27 or a child’s share, whichever is the
greater. As a child’s share of R375 000,00 is greater than R125 000,00, his
wife shall be entitled to R375 000,00.

Each of the three children shall also be entitled to R375 000,00. [4]

6.2 His father shall be entitled to 50% of the balance for distribution, i.e. R650
000,00. Each of his two brothers shall be entitled to R216 666,66 and the
two children of his deceased sister shall be entitled to R108 333,33. [4]

6.3 His wife shall be entitled to R125 000,00 or a child’s share, whichever is the
greater. His wife shall therefore be entitled to R1 600 000,00. The child from
the marriage with the deceased shall be entitled to R1 600 000,00. The
adopted child shall be entitled to R1 600 000,00. The step child can only
inherit from the estate of the mother. [4]

Question 7 - Model answer [8]

7.1 Prem Singh already owns his half share in the property by means of a
separate title deed T1062/2012. He can therefore proceed to pass a
mortgage bond over his one half share without first applying for the issue of a
Certificate of Registered title ito section 34(1). [4]

7.2 Michael Brown does not need to apply for the issue of a certificate of
registered title ito section 34(1) for his undivided share, as he already holds it
by means of a separate title deed. You will transfer 1/4 share directly from
T472/2013.

The property will eventually be held as follows:

a) ½ share by Prem under T1062/2012, mortgaged under B _____
b) 1/4 share by Michael under T472/2013
c) 1/4 share by Mary under T ____________ about to be registered [4]

Question 8 - Model answer 28 [5]

The notarial deed must be entered into by and between the registered owner of the
neighbouring land and the Body Corporate of the scheme (duly authorised thereto
by virtue of a special resolution), if the Body Corporate has already been
established. If the body corporate has not yet been established then the other
party to the notarial deed should be the developer of the scheme (registered owner
of all the units in the scheme).

The mortgagee of the bond that is registered over the neighbouring land (servient
tenement) must consent to the servitude of encroachment.

Question 9 - Model answer [13]

9.1
• The procedure set out in regulation 13A issued under the Sectional Titled Act
should be followed.
• A written application by the developer or body corporate (whichever is
applicable), a draft replacement schedule of conditions and notice for
publication to be signed by the Registrar of Deeds must be submitted to the
Registrar of deeds.
• The Registrar must at the expense of his deeds registry advertise in two
consecutive ordinary issues of the Gazette and in two consecutive issues of
a newspaper circulating the area of jurisdiction of his deeds registry, a notice
of intention to file a replacement schedule in the relevant sectional title file.
• The draft replacement schedule must lie open for inspection in the deeds
office for 6 weeks .
• If no valid written objection was lodged with the registrar, the replacement
schedule shall take the place of the lost schedule and shall embody or refer
to every condition, servitude, lease or other encumbrance.
• the replacement schedule will be endorsed accordingly and filed in the
sectional title file
• If the original is subsequently found it will be void. [3]

9.2 A notarial variation agreement entered into between the body corporate and
the developer, with the written consent of all the members of the body
corporate as well as with the written consent of the mortgagee of each unit in
the scheme, failing the agreement or obtaining of all consents, an order of
court must be obtained.

Also see Question 12 (Part 2) May 2008.

Part 2 - 11 May 2016 Self-Study Deeds Course CC Page 35

 Should the body corporate not be in existence, a section 4(1)(b) of the Deeds
Registries Act application may be lodged where a right has been reserved,
from time to time, but no specific period has been stipulated in the conditions
- (RCR43/2007). [6]

9.3 Yes, provided application is made in terms of section 15B(1)(d) of the

Sectional Titles Act, read together with section 68(1) of the Deeds Registries
Act, for the noting of the lapse of the expired right - (RCR8/2013). The
procedure set out in section 68(1) shall mutatis mutandis be applicable to
such application. [4]

Question 10 - Model answer [14]

10.1 Transfer duty is payable on R2 000 000,00, in the amount of R65 000,00.
The seller is not a registered VAT vendor for purposes of the transaction and
even if she was, the sale of a property that was previously let out for
residential purposes is VAT exempt which means that transfer duty is
payable. The purchaser can, however, claim back the transfer duty that he
has paid as an input tax deduction. [3]

10.2 Transfer duty is payable on R2 500 000,00 in the amount of R112 500,00.
The seller is Susan, who is not registered for VAT and thus transfer duty is
payable. The fact that her husband is selling his business has nothing to do
with the transfer of the property. [3]

10.3 VAT shall be payable at the rate of 14%. For the rate of 0% to apply, the
parties have to agree in writing inter alia that the enterprise is sold as a going
concern.
If the parties did not agree to this in writing, the zero rate cannot be applied,
even if the enterprise is indeed transferred as a going concern.

Where the parties did not agree in the deed of sale that the supply
constitutes a going concern, SARS will not allow them to introduce this
requirement by means of an addendum. [3]

10.4 VAT will be payable at the rate of 14%. The purchaser was not a registered
VAT vendor at the time when the taxable supply was made, which is one of
the requirements for a zero rated transaction.

Y can still register as a VAT Vendor after the conclusion of the contract,
although he had to apply for such registration before the conclusion of the
contract. In such a case the zero rate can apply. [3]

Part 2 - 11 May 2016 Self-Study Deeds Course CC Page 36

10.5 No transfer duty is payable as the transfer to a fideicommissary heir is
exempt from the payment of transfer duty in terms of section 9 of the
Transfer Duty Act. No VAT is payable either. [2]

Question 11 - Model answer [4]

Circumstances where section 57 will not be allowed by the Registrar of

Deeds:

1 Where only part of the property mortgaged is to be transferred. In other

words, where part of the land is to be withheld by the mortgagor from
transfer.

2 Where the transferor has reserved a real right in such land.

3 Where the transferor of the land is one of the following persons:

a) a trustee in an insolvent estate
b) an executor in an insolvent deceased estate
c) a liquidator of a company or close corporation that is being wound up
under the supervision of the court and is unable to pay its debts.

4 Where the new owner is a person who is not competent to mortgage the
land, for example a minor or fiduciary.

5 Where the bond in terms whereof the substitution is desired is a surety bond.

6 mortgagors under a notarial bond may not be substituted in terms of section
