Cohabitation Agreements for Spousal Visa Purposes

The notarial contract pertaining to a spousal relationship referred to in section 1(1)(xxxvi) of the Act is a requirement to be concluded allow it to legally sanction a permanent conjugal relationship, within the Republic, other than a marriage or a customary union concluded under the laws of the Republic.

The notarial Co-Habitation contract is a formal agreement entered into by a South African citizen/permanent resident and a foreign partner. The agreement setting out the details of the parties rights and privileges in terms of their relationship is drafted, and notarised by a South African notary. The parties must also appear and sign the agreement in the presence of the Notary Public. The Notary then issues a notarial certification relating to the above. The contract is signed originally in duplicate and the second original contract is placed in the Protocol of the Notary ans a protocol number is allocated.

Living together - Buying Property - Beware!

Parties living together should think carefully before buying property together. It is advisable that they agree beforehand what should happen when the relationship does not work out e.g:
Who will live in the property? . What will happen to income derived from the property? Sale or lease of the property? Division of profit or loss.

The position becomes especially difficult where the property is only registered in one of party's name. The other party will contribute to the expenses of the property but will derive no benefit from the property if the relationship dissolves. Contrary to popular opinion there is no such thing as a "common law marriage" and an Universal Partnership is extremely difficult and costly to prove. We advise that in the event couples decide to buy property together they enter into a cohabitation agreement setting out the terms and conditions should the relationship dissolve. Contact Us for further information.
