QUESTION 1
The main purpose of Section 21 is to prevent dishonest collusion between spouses that
could harm the rights of creditors when one spouse is declared insolvent. 1 It allows the
Master and, later, the trustee to take temporary control of the solvent spouse’s separate
property, treating it as if it belonged to the insolvent estate.1 This is to ensure that assets are
not unlawfully hidden or transferred under false claims of separate ownership. However, the
solvent spouse may reclaim their property if they prove legal ownership in terms of Section
21(2). This mechanism ensures fairness and transparency in the distribution of the
insolvent’s estate.
