Succession Summary



INTRODUCTION

Succession is divided into testate and intestate.
At Roman law the heirs inherited all assets and liabilities and the legatee only
assets. Today this position has changed- neither inherit liabilities.
Succession may take place in one of three ways, namely:
1. Testate
2. Intestate
3. Pactum successorium (contract) - In our law, an antenuptial contract is the
only contract in which a person may regulate succession to the assets in
his or her estate.

MOMENT OF DEATH - Brain death is sufficient. (S v Williams)

PRESUMPTION OF DEATH - When a person dies a death certificate is issued
and the estate of such a person can be wound up. However, if a person has
disappeared and is thought to be dead but the body cannot be found one needs to
approach the High Court to grant an order presuming the death of that person,
and only then may his or her estate be administered. The estate of the missing
person can be wound up subject to the heirs furnishing of security.
(Beaglehole: the person was missing for thirty years and the court would not
grant a POD order)

PERSONS WHO DIE IN THE SAME DISASTER - When two or more people are in
the same disaster and it can’t be established who died first, it would be found
that they died simultaneously (commorientes).
Ex parte Graham: a woman and her adopted son were killed in an air disaster in
the Cameroons
Ex parte Chodos: a mother and her daughter had presumably been murdered by
the Nazis.
In both cases because of a lack of evidence to the contrary, the court found in
both cases that it had to be presumed that they had died simultaneously.
