team offers comprehensive advice on estate planning, the drafting of wills and all aspects of trust

professional trust accountant to manage the trust's accounting aspects. SARS will require income
tax returns at the end of each financial year. It is important that precise bookkeeping is

orderly sets of books will ensure that no doubt exists about the ownership of the trust’s assets in the event that a member comes under attack from creditors.

Letting Rentals Agents - Conducting credit checks, drawing up leases, inspections each time a new tenant
vacates, rent collection etc... The admin involved in rental management does not suit all investors, although some
might consider that it would be a good experience to let their properties themselves. oGatsheni cautions investors to
follow this strategy only after due consideration and having conducted extensive research beforehand to gain a full
understanding of the entire process.
oGatsheni believes that members' time is more valuable, and so advises them to leave these very important
functions in the administration of a property portfolio to a capable letting agent who has the necessary resources,
manpower and expertise at hand.
