, ABSTRACT
The issue of the status of assets held in a trust, of which one of
the parties to a marriage is a trustee, is one that South African
courts must grapple with. The basic rule is that trust property
shouldn't be included in the trustee's personal estate unless
they are the beneficiary and have a right to it. This research
demonstrates the potential harm that strict adherence to trust-
legal principles in divorce cases may cause to weaker spouses.
In order to determine whether the assets held in a trust would
have been a part of the trustee's personal estate had there been
no trust established, the article contends that courts should
objectively evaluate the circumstances of the cases before
them.
KEYWORDS
Assets, trusts, joint-estate, accrual, administrator.
