The notarial contract is an official agreement between a citizen/permanent resident of South Africa and a foreign partner, which is in turn authenticated by a notarial lawyer. This treaty contains information such as the rights and privileges of their relationship. Each notarized contract is unique and does not have a standard format, as it depends on the couple`s requirements. Any notarized contract must be registered with the Clerk of Facts. A life partnership refers to cohabitation (cohabitation) outside marriage in a relationship similar to a marriage or with most of the characteristics of a marriage. We advise our clients on all legal aspects of the conclusion of Life Partnership Agreements in order to draft and execute these contracts in a notarial manner. Sworn insurance refers to a conjugal relationship that allows the official authorization of a permanent conjugal relationship within the Republic of South Africa, with anything other than a marriage or customs union. Foreign couples cannot apply for sworn insurance or a notarized contract because they must qualify individually to obtain a visa or authorization. Foreign couples who wish to be considered spouses must comply with the laws on spouses in the country of residence. Permission granted to a parent`s spouse ends with the dissolution of the spousal relationship. The South African Ministry of the Interior can at any time ensure that a conjugal relationship exists and/or persists in good faith, in accordance with Rule 33 of the Immigration Act.

After the signing, both receive a notarized testimony. As there are two original duplications of the contract, this allows the second original to be kept in the notary`s minutes. It is customary for citizens of South Africa or permanent residents linked to a foreign partner to enter into a notarized life contract. There is no standard format for this notarized contract and each will be unique depending on the requirements and circumstances of the parties. The common-law spouse who owns the house will be the sole owner. He may sell or mortgage without the consent of the other and keep the money from the sale of the latter. Thus, if the house is already in the name of a spouse, an agreement between spouses could offer the method of separation of the family home, while having a recognized and guaranteed legal status. If you are planning to buy a home together, you could take the form of condo property. This implies that both names appear on the facts as buyers. The house will therefore be equal parts. In a conjugal relationship, it is necessary to enter into a notarized contract between you and your partner.

This agreement may be necessary for certain legal applications, for example. B for obtaining residence visas in South Africa, if you are in a Life Partnership Agreement (Spousal Visa) or to prove a cohabitation agreement for the conclusion of a housing contract with certain state institutions.
