When a trust can’t, and shouldn’t, protect ill-gotten assets
The recent Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) decision of Van Rooyen N.O and Another v Mokwena N.O and Another (63/2023) ZASCA 130 reinforces the important principle that trusts, while offering legitimate estate planning and asset structuring benefits, do not provide protection where their purpose is aimed at abusing their structure. When the solvency of a trust is questioned the applicable legislation is the Insolvency Act 24 of 1936 (Act). Where creditors can establish the standard statutory requirements (such as indebtedness and advantage to creditors), courts are likely to grant provisional sequestration. What is relatively unique about this decision is that the SCA granted the provisional sequestration, on appeal, without requiring oral argument.
