South African legal context (2026 checklist)

A family resolution is useful evidence of agreement, but it may not replace formal legal requirements. Matters involving estates, land, trusts, companies, divorce, children, or guardianship may require a formal agreement, court order, Master’s process, or statutory compliance.

  • South African common law of contract
  • Administration of Estates Act 66 of 1965, where estates are involved
  • Wills Act 7 of 1953, where succession wishes are involved
  • Trust Property Control Act 57 of 1988, where trusts are involved
  • Children’s Act 38 of 2005, where children are involved
  • Companies Act 71 of 2008, where a family company is involved

Use this as a starting point only. Verify current gazetted amendments, tribunal rules, and SARS / DOL circulars that may apply to your matter.
