With Legal&Tax you're not alone

Welcome to the latest edition of Legal&You.

Are you buying a property? Michael Visser (Head of Legal) provides guidance on the understanding how to factor in interest rates, insurance and other costs involved in owning a home. He also provides guidance on what to do if you find yourself in a situation where you can’t meet your payment obligations.

Debt Advisor, Tshepo Moloi discusses the pros and cons of interest rate regimes, how to handle over-indebtedness and, how to avoid debt.

Lizl Finch (Head of Sales) explains why it is more important now than ever to ensure you have adequate funeral cover, and Dr. Avron Urison breaks down vaccination developments.
