Can a married woman retake property that her husband bought and then gave away after they were married?
Was this property bought before or after marriage? Either way, if you are married and want to sell real estate or a car or such, both spouses have to sign their consent to the transaction. So if your husband sold something behind your back, you might have a case. If it was bought before that, there's room for argument.

It depends. If the deceased had a spouse (or if he was in a polygamous marriage) but if he had no descendants, the spouse (or spouses) will inherit the estate. If there are only descendants but no spouses, then it will be they who inherit the estate. In case there are both spouse(s) and descendants, the spouse will receive R125 000 and the balance will go to the children. Also, if there are neither descendants nor spouses, the parents (or one parent and the other descendants of that parent) will split the estate equally.
