The "use-it-or-lose-it" line gets thrown around every October, but it oversimplifies what the BCEA actually says about annual leave. Employees are entitled to a minimum of 21 consecutive days' leave per 12-month cycle (this equals 15 working days for a 5-day workweek or 18 working days for a 6-day workweek), and employers carry the responsibility to ensure that leave is scheduled and taken. It isn't simply forfeited if left unplanned. Disputes often arise when employers treat unused leave as automatically forfeited, despite the law taking a more nuanced approach. Getting this wrong can expose a business to unnecessary claims. If your leave policy hasn't been reviewed in a while, now is the time.

A maintenance order made five years ago may no longer reflect the cost of education, medical aid, and everyday care in 2026. South African family law allows a parent to apply for an adjustment when circumstances have materially changed.

Adriaans reviews financial disclosures, assesses the true needs of the children, and pursues a fair maintenance amount that reflects current realities: https://tinyurl.com/5n6hdz5s

The 2026 PIE Amendment Bill introduces tougher penalties for illegal occupation and changes the requirements for urgent eviction applications. However, landlords may still not use “self-help” measures such as changing locks, even when tenants default or remain unlawfully. Strict notices, timing, and court procedures are essential for a just and equitable outcome.

Recent rulings by the 2026 Western Cape High Court confirm that sectional title conduct rules may be amended prospectively to address ongoing disruptions. Whether a body corporate is exceeding its powers or an owner is ignoring the rules, the matter must be handled carefully. CSOS offers an alternative dispute-resolution route, but strong evidence and a properly prepared case remain essential.

A trust must be actively administered. Trustees should meet regularly, keep proper accounting records, and act independently of the founder to prevent the trust from being treated as an “alter ego”. Poor administration can expose trustees to personal liability and place the trust’s legal standing at risk.

A trust requires ongoing attention. Anti-money laundering laws and the Master’s Beneficial Ownership requirements mean trustees must accurately record and upload details of the people who ultimately benefit from or control the trust. Non-compliance can lead to statutory penalties and operational disruption.

The 2026 National Budget increased the Capital Gains Tax exclusion at death to R440,000 and the annual tax-free donation threshold to R150,000 per natural person. These changes create valuable opportunities to transfer wealth during your lifetime and preserve more for your beneficiaries.

Accepting an executorship means accepting responsibility for correct valuations, timeous debt settlement, and honest dealing with heirs. Beneficiaries can lodge objections with the Master, and an executor who acts negligently or dishonestly can be removed or held personally accountable for losses caused. This is why many families choose to appoint an attorney as executor or ask one to assist a family member who's been nominated.

Adriaans supports executors at every stage to keep the estate on the right track and protect everyone's interests: https://tinyurl.com/4xwabcp3
