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, even if it is R150 or R200.
The short story is that you will need a sale agreement for the property, in terms whereof she is the seller and you are the purchaser. Then, you will need a conveyancing attorney to put the property on your name at the Deeds Office.
