South African inheritance & trust transfers
If you live overseas and are the beneficiary of a South African estate or trust, transferring funds out of the country can be quite complicated.
The process required depends on which of the following categories you fall into from an exchange control status:
- South African resident temporarily abroad: you have left the country but haven’t completed the financial emigration process.
- South African emigrant: you have left the country and completed the financial emigration process via the South African Reserve Bank.
- Non-resident: you have never been resident in South Africa.
For each of these scenarios we have a complete solution that takes care of all regulatory requirements and facilitates the transfer of funds at the most competitive exchange rates.
