The transfer process involves multiple steps to ensure the legal change of ownership is properly recorded. A transfer attorney plays a central role in facilitating this process and protecting your interests — especially as a seller.

At RCS Law, we work closely with our clients to:

• Ensure that the Offer to Purchase is fully understood — particularly when suspensive conditions apply (such as the buyer needing bond approval or selling another property first).
• Prepare and submit all required legal documentation.
• Liaise with all relevant parties, including bond attorneys, cancellation attorneys, estate agents, and municipal offices.
• Oversee the financial reconciliation of the transaction — ensuring all fees, duties, and payments are finalised prior to registration.
• Ensure full compliance with SARS, the Deeds Office, and municipal requirements.
• Lodge documents with the Deeds Office to finalise the transfer and register the new ownership.
