Before You Say “I Do”, Talk About the Legal Stuff Too. 💍📑

Planning a wedding is exciting. Discussing how your finances will work after the wedding may not be quite as exciting, but it is an important conversation to have.

An Antenuptial Contract, commonly known as an ANC, sets out the matrimonial property system that will apply to a marriage. It can help couples understand how their assets, liabilities and financial responsibilities may be dealt with during the marriage and if the marriage ends.

An ANC needs to be properly prepared and executed before the marriage takes place, so it is important to seek legal advice well in advance of your wedding day.

At Burne & Burne Attorneys, our team can assist couples with the preparation and ex*****on of Antenuptial Contracts, helping you understand your options before you make this important commitment.
Because planning your future together should include protecting it too.

Your Property Sale Isn't Complete When You Sign. 🏡✍️

Signing an agreement of sale is an important milestone, but it doesn't mean the property has officially changed hands.

The legal transfer of ownership still needs to take place. The conveyancer must attend to the necessary documentation, obtain the required certificates and clearances, satisfy the relevant legal and financial requirements, and ultimately lodge the transfer with the Deeds Office.
Only once the transfer has been registered does ownership officially pass to the new owner.

At Burne & Burne Attorneys, our experienced conveyancing team manages the transfer process and works with the various parties involved to help keep your property transaction moving forward.

If you're buying or selling property, having the right legal team behind you can make all the difference.

When a Loved One Passes Away, What Happens to Their Estate? 🕊️📑

Losing a loved one is difficult enough without having to navigate a complicated legal process at the same time.

When someone passes away, their estate needs to be properly administered. This can involve identifying assets and liabilities, dealing with the deceased's Will, reporting the estate to the relevant authorities and attending to the legal requirements involved in winding up the estate.

There are often many details to consider, and the process can become particularly complicated when there are substantial assets, outstanding debts or disputes between beneficiaries.

At Burne & Burne Attorneys, our estates team can assist with the administration of deceased estates, helping families navigate the legal process with care and professionalism.

Having the right legal guidance can provide clarity during an already difficult time and help ensure that the estate is dealt with properly.

Conveyancing - More Than Just Paperwork 🏡📑

Buying or selling a property involves much more than signing an agreement. Once the sale is concluded, the legal process of transferring ownership needs to be carefully managed.

Conveyancing involves preparing and reviewing the necessary transfer documents, attending to the requirements of SARS and the municipality, liaising with the relevant parties and ensuring the transfer is properly lodged with the Deeds Office.

With so many steps involved, having an experienced conveyancing team guiding the process can help prevent unnecessary delays and ensure that everything is handled correctly.

At Burne & Burne Attorneys, our conveyancing team assists with the legal transfer of property from start to finish, keeping you informed throughout the process.

Whether you're buying, selling or investing in property, we're here to help you move forward with confidence.

🌍✈️ Going Overseas? Make Sure Your Documents Are Ready Too.

Whether you're heading abroad to study, start a new job, take a gap year or relocate permanently, your South African documents may need to be formally authenticated before they can be accepted in another country.

And authentication is more than simply making a certified copy.
Depending on your destination and the type of document, the process may involve notarisation, authentication by the High Court and verification through DIRCO.

Documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates and academic qualifications may all require authentication before they can be used overseas.

Getting the process wrong can lead to delays at a time when you're already preparing for an important move.

At Burne & Burne Attorneys, our experienced Notaries guide you through the requirements, helping ensure your documents are properly prepared and authenticated for their intended use abroad.
Get your paperwork sorted before you get on the plane. 🌍

Your children’s future deserves a plan. 🧒💙

For parents, one of the most difficult questions to consider is what would happen to their children if they were no longer around to care for them.

A properly drafted Will can allow you to nominate a guardian for your minor children and set out important wishes for their care. It can also form part of a wider estate plan designed to protect their inheritance and provide greater certainty for the future.

Without the right planning, your family may be left making difficult decisions during an already incredibly challenging time.

At Burne & Burne Attorneys, we help parents put the right legal arrangements in place to protect what matters most, their children.
Planning for the unexpected isn't about expecting the worst. It's about giving your family clarity when they need it most.

What’s the difference between an accountant and a lawyer?

Accountants know they’re boring. 😏
But here’s the thing… we lawyers actually love what we do. ⚖️💙
The paperwork. The fine print. The contracts. The legislation. The details that most people would rather not spend their Friday afternoon thinking about.

And thank goodness for that, because someone has to.
At Burne & Burne Attorneys, we’re here to handle the legal details, navigate the complexities and give you the guidance you need, so you can get on with what matters to you.

Maybe lawyers are a little boring sometimes.

But when it comes to protecting your interests, we think that’s a good thing. 😉

National Wills Week: Put Your Wishes in Writing. 📜💙

A Will is one of the most important documents you can prepare for your family, yet many people continue to put it off.

National Wills Week, taking place from 14–18 September 2026, is an opportunity to think about whether you have a valid Will in place and whether it still reflects your wishes and circumstances.

A properly drafted Will can help ensure that your assets are dealt with according to your wishes and can provide important provisions for your spouse, dependants and minor children.

Life changes, and your Will should keep up. Marriage, children, property purchases, business interests and other major changes can all be reasons to review your estate planning.

At Burne & Burne Attorneys, we assist with drafting and reviewing Wills and helping families put clear plans in place for the future.
This National Wills Week, give your family the gift of clarity.

Before the wedding bells, have the important conversation. 💍💙

Wedding planning often revolves around the venue, guest list, flowers and honeymoon. But there is another important decision couples should make before the big day: how they want their finances and assets to be structured during their marriage.

An Antenuptial Contract (ANC) allows couples to choose the marital property system that best suits their circumstances and future plans. It is about entering marriage with clarity and making an informed decision together.

Most importantly, an ANC must be signed before the marriage takes place. Leaving it until the last minute can create unnecessary pressure, and may mean you don't have the opportunity to put the arrangements you intended in place.

At Burne & Burne Attorneys, our Notaries guide couples through the ANC process, helping you understand your options and prepare the necessary documentation.

Plan together. Start your marriage with clarity.
