The Johannesburg High Court dealt with an application to terminate the Ruan Swanepoel Inter Vivos Trust under section 13 of the Trust Property Control Act. The judgment records the applicant's rehabilitation and the court's finding that the trust deed's termination on death clause produced consequences not foreseen when the trust was created. The order terminates the trust and directs transfer of the trust capital and related amounts within specified court days.
This appears to concern trusts created from RAF settlements and may be relevant to trust administration and section 13 applications.
