OUR SERVICES
Estate Law & Estate Planning
Has someone close to you recently passed away? Are you appointed as executor but you are uncertain about your role and duties, or do you need a trustworthy agent to manage your duties as executor on your behalf? Do you need advice on the tax implications such as estate duty, capital gains tax and income tax after death? Contact us for comprehensive legal advice.
Do you need a last will and testament taking care of your loved ones after your death?
The importance of having a valid will cannot be emphasised enough. If you should die without a will, you die intestate, meaning that the division of your assets will take place in terms of statutory law which will not necessarily coincide with your wishes. If you have minor children; their inheritance will have to be paid into the Guardian Fund at the Master’s Office until they have attained the age of majority.
When you have a will in place, all these problematic issues fall away. For example, you can create a trust for your children after your death. You are free to appoint trustees for the trust as well as the executor of your choice. Trytsman Attorneys has the legal knowledge, skills, and experience to advise clients on getting a proper will in place, carefully drafted to take care of your specific needs.
We also have the expertise to advise you on the many benefits of registering a family trust, and we can help you set up the trust with great care and expertise.
Do you, or someone close to you have a child with specific needs? Are you aware of the various tax benefits of creating a special trust for your child with special needs? Let us help you to create a special trust for your child or relative with special needs.
Family law
Are you in the process of getting a divorce but you don’t want to waste your hard-earned money on legal costs? Let Trytsman Attorneys be the solution for your family law mediation needs. By combining a fundamental understanding of the big family law picture with the complexity of daily interactions and experiences, we provide proactive solutions to a diversity of clients in need of mediation on family law disputes. The mediator facilitates, with the input of the two divorcees, a divorce settlement agreement after a few consultations. This includes the matrimonial aspects as well as the rights pertaining to minor children born from the marriage. After the successful mediation, a draft divorce settlement agreement is drafted which can be made an order of court, without the astronomical drama and financial implications usually involved with a normal divorce.
Are you about to get married? Trytsman Attorneys can assist you with your antenuptial contract. An antenuptial contract determines the financial consequences of the marriage should the marriage terminate, because of death or divorce. If you don’t enter into an antenuptial agreement prior to your marriage, you will be deemed to be married in community of property, meaning that assets and losses will be shared prior to and after the marriage. This also means that when your spouse is sequestrated; your estate will also be sequestrated. Getting married out of community of property with the accrual system enables you to share profits and losses during the marriage, without the disadvantages of a marriage in community of property. Contact us before your big day; we will explain all the possibilities to you and your prospective spouse and get your antenuptial contract in place.
Property Law
Are you considering buying or selling property? Do you need advice on the terms of a sale agreement before committing yourself to a contract? Are you considering renting out a property, but unsure about the legal implications of the Rental Housing Act? Rather be safe than sorry: obtain legal assistance.
Never sign an offer to purchase without a proper understanding of all the terms that you are taking responsibility for. Even if an estate agent is involved in the marketing of a property, it is prudent for the seller and the purchaser to consult with an attorney to ensure that their legal interests are protected in the agreement of sale. This small cost may save you thousands. For example, if you are buying into a Sectional Title Scheme, you must obtain the financial statements of the Body Corporate to ensure that the financial position is stable. Are there certain clauses which you would like to include in the contract? Are you aware of the common law guarantees imposed by the law and the financial implications it may have on you? Trytsman Attorneys has the legal knowledge, skills, and experience to advise clients on Property Law matters in the Gauteng area, from the agreement of sale to the successful registration in the Deeds Office.
Commercial Contracts & Business Law
Do you have a sale of business on your hands? Need advice in the drafting of a commercial contract? Trytsman Attorneys has the legal knowledge, skills, and experience to advise clients on sale of business matters, including conducting due diligence investigations.

They omit taking important legal issues into account, such as insolvency law issues, the National Credit Act, and the Consumer Protection Act, to name a few; resulting in unexpected financial and legal consequences. Let Trytsman Attorneys cover all your risks with a professional sale of business agreement.
