Tips, tricks and useful information
Substitutution of a debtor
**please see explanatory NOTES at the end of the article
- Substitution of Debtor in terms of section 57 of the Act
If the owner of land burdened by a registered bond, transfers the whole of such land to someone, a registrar of deeds may substitute the transferee for the transferor as debtor in respect of the bond registered over such land. (If the transferor is the owner of a one-half share of the land he must transfer his whole half-share).
A registrar will, however, not substitute such transferee as debtor, if the transferor is:- Trustee in an insolvent estate
- Executor who administers an estate ito Sec 34
- Liquidator of a co/cc that cannot pay its debts
- Liquidator or trustee appointed ito Agricultural Credit Act
- Trustee in an insolvent estate
- Substitution of Debtor in terms of section 45(2)(c)
The consent for the substitution of debtor in terms of section 45(2)(c) must be drafted and signed by both the surviving spouse and the mortgagor in accordance with prescribed Form T.
- Substitution of Debtor in terms of section 45 bis (2)(a)
The provisions of section 45 apply mutatis mutandis where a deed is endorsed in terms of section 45 bis (section 45bis (2)). Form T will have to be adjusted.
- Substitution of Debtor in terms of section 45 bis (2)(b)
Where a title deed is endorsed in terms of section 45 bis (1A), and such immovable property is hypothecated, the former spouses may jointly and severally assume liability in writing for all the indebtedness and renounce the exception de duobus vel pluribus reis-debendi.
Form BBB to the Act must be used for this substitution, and must be signed by both the mortgagee and the new individual debtors.
- Waiver of the Exception de duobus vel pluribus reis-debendi
When two or more transferees substitute a previous owner (mortgagor) the new owners (mortgagees) must waive the exception de duobus vel pluribusreis-debendi .
A substitution of a covering bond is registerable in a deeds office, but it may be mentioned, for interest's sake, that banks and building societies, in general, do not allow for the substitution of a debtor in respect of their covering bonds.
Substitution of Surviving Spouse as debtor
A surviving spouse can in terms of Section 57 be substituted as debtor, irrespective of whether such spouse was married in or out of community of property to the deceased spouse and irrespective of the manner in which the immovable property was acquired.
Prescribed Form
The consent for the substitution of debtor must be signed by both the mortgagee and the new mortgagor (transferee) and must be drawn in accordance with Form W of the Act.
Sec 57 and Sec 45(2)(c)
NOTES:
Example-
A sells to B
A has a bond over the property
(A is the existing mortgagor)
The transfer takes place from A to B
The existing bond IS NOT CANCELLED, but A is substituted with B as the new mortgagor.
A consent to substitution is required for this.
In effect what happens is that the new owner of the immovable property is substituted for the previous owner, and as new owner also assumes full responsibility and liability of the existing bond.
This form of consent is commonly used in deceased estates where a surviving spouse takes over the bond of the deceased / or a divorce / or where a joint owner is selling his whole portion to someone else (the bond remains the same only 1 name changes)

Tips for the ladies
Aspire to be Barbie - she has everything.
If the shoe fits - buy one in every color.
Take life with a pinch of salt... a wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila
In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!
Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).
When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.
I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.
Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.
Don't get your knickers in a knot, it solves nothing; and makes you walk funny.
When life gives you lemons in 2007 - turn it into lemonade then mix it with vodka.
Remember every good looking; sweet, single male is someone else's ex boyfriend!
