Question posted in the Property Law category relating to Free State
Good day.
Our house is paid off and in my father's name. We want to transfer the title deed onto my name, but we don't know where to start. What will be the best and cheapest way to do so as my dad is a pensioner.
We have read about the donation , but not sure how it works and whether it will be the best option for us.
Can you please assist us to where we should start, how long it will take and costs involved more or less. At the moment we are not sure of the house value, but it's will not exceed 1million rand .
