Question posted in the Property Law category relating to Free State

Good day. I have an old uncle in his 60years + and he was given a stand by local municipality. He is on Sassa grant/pension and he sold the stand without valid reason. Now he doesn't have a place to stay and my younger sister decided to give him a place to stay while we trying to refund the buyer his R8000. Unfortunately the buyer is not willing to take the offer and he took the old man to the Attorneys to sign the sale agreement . The old man is my uncle and he is not married and he doesn't have any kids. Is it there any possibility  to stop this process?

Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.

If your uncle signed a sale agreement, it might be the end of the road already.

BUT, you can check with the conditions of the stand given by the local municipalty if your uncle is actually allowed to sell his stand before a certain period of time. Sometimes there is a time limit, e.g. 10 years, where the person is not allowed to sell. That might apply to your uncle.
