News Article | Can your neighbour’s CCTV cameras point into your property?

The neighbours, in the affluent suburb of Bakoven, had been locked in an acrimonious dispute for almost two decades when CCTV cameras became the latest point of contention.

The cameras installed at one property had a clear line of sight into parts of the neighbouring property, including a courtyard, part of a swimming pool and entertainment area and, according to the neighbour, the interior of a bedroom. The cameras also had 24-hour surveillance and recording capability.

Ons Raak Formeel | “Lex domicilii matrimonii”

Hierdie ou regsbegrip, wat vertaal kan word as “die reg van die huweliksdomisilie” spreek ’n kernvraag aan waarmee howe te kampe het wanneer ’n huwelik oor verskeie jurisdiksies strek: “Watter land se wetgewing is op hierdie huwelik van toepassing?” As een huweliksparty byvoorbeeld Kanadese burgerskap het, die ander Engelse burgerskap, die twee van hulle trou dan in Suid‑Afrika, hulle gaan woon in Portugal en vestig hulle permanent daar en dan skei hulle later in Noorweë, watter regstelsel moet op hul huwelik van toepassing wees?

Dit is ’n belangrike vraag vir diegene wat op die punt staan om te trou (of om te skei), aangesien verskillende regstelsels wesenlik verskil met die hantering van die finansiële en ander gevolge van ’n huwelik. Tot dusver is die finansiële aspekte van ’n huwelik deur die Suid‑Afrikaanse reg gereguleer indien die man ten tyde van die huweliksluiting in Suid-Afrika gedomisilieer was. Hierdie benadering is heeltemal onversoenbaar met ons nuwe Grondwet. Daarom het die Wes‑Kaapse Hooggeregshof pas ’n nuwe stel reëls neergelê om te bepaal watter wetgewing op die partye se huwelik van toepassing behoort te wees. Ons voorsien dat ons ander hooggeregshowe hierdie uitspraak waarskynlik sal volg.

Understanding Wills & Estates

Planning for the future isn’t always easy to think about, but having your affairs in order can provide valuable clarity and certainty for you and your loved ones.

A Wills & Estates attorney can assist with important matters such as:

• Drafting and reviewing your Will
• Updating your Will when circumstances change
• Estate planning
• Administration of deceased estates
• Guidance for executors and beneficiaries
• Ensuring your wishes are properly documented

A Will is more than just a legal document. It provides clear instructions about how you would like your estate handled and can help make the process easier for those you leave behind.

Whether you need to draft your first Will, update an existing one, or require assistance with the administration of an estate, professional guidance can help you navigate the process with confidence.

For any questions relating to Wills & Estates, contact Andri Barnard, B.Com (Law), LLB, Post Grad in Fin Planning Law, from Van Zyl Kruger for professional guidance on safeguarding your estate.

Buying a property comes with additional costs beyond the purchase price, and transfer costs are an important expense to plan for.

In some circumstances, a bank may approve a home loan that provides additional funding towards these costs, but this will depend on factors such as the loan amount, your financial profile, the property value, and the bank’s lending criteria.

It’s important to understand the difference between transfer costs, transfer duty, and bond registration costs, and to know what you may need to pay upfront before signing on the dotted line.

Why is it important to have a valid Will?

A valid Will allows you to clearly set out how you would like your estate to be distributed after your passing.

Without a valid Will, your estate will generally be distributed according to South Africa’s laws of intestate succession, which may not reflect your personal wishes.

Having a professionally drafted Will can also help provide clarity for your loved ones and reduce uncertainty during an already difficult time.

Need assistance with drafting or updating your Will? Speak to our Wills & Estates team for professional guidance.

This month, we turn our attention to a few important legal questions that may be closer to home than you think. From understanding why different types of wills may be necessary to the recent developments regarding marital domicilium, we unpack some of the legal considerations that can have a significant impact on you and your family. We also look at what happens when a pothole causes an accident, and whether your neighbour’s CCTV camera may legally be watching more than just their own property.
