CONVEYANCING TIP TUESDAY

Handling Surname Discrepancies in Divorce Transfers:

In the event your client’s divorce order contains the maiden surname of the ex-spouse but the Identity document and title deed contains the ex-spouse’s married surname, do the following to save time and bypass the lengthy process of amending/varying the decree of divorce:
Steps:
• Use a Conveyancer’s Certificate: Lodge a formal certificate under Section 15A of the Deeds Registries Act to confirm identity.
• Verify the documentation: Check that the ex-spouse’s identity document and title deed match the married surname, while the divorce order reflects the maiden surname.
• Certify "one and the same": Explicitly state in the certificate that the individual named under both surnames is the exact same person.
NB!: DO NOT submit the transfer without ensuring you have inspected the marriage certificate or backup registry links to justify your certificate.
