Question 1 – Vesting Clauses
These clauses are the “who” in the deed — they identify the
transferee with the required legal capacity, marital status, and
other particulars as prescribed in Regulation 18 under the Act.
(a) Partnership where at least one partner is married in
community of property (4)
Vesting clause example
“John Smith, Identity Number 650101 5009 085, married in
community of property to Mary Smith, and Peter Jones,
Identity Number 700202 5087 006, unmarried, trading
together in partnership under the name and style of Smith &
Jones Partners, herein represented by themselves.”
Reasoning:
Regulation 18 requires the full names, ID numbers,
marital status, and capacity.
Each partner is described individually; mention marriage
in community of property.
Partnership name is included.
, (b) A person who does not have a valid identity document (3)
Vesting clause example

passport details (country of issue required).
State marital status.

Vesting clause example
“ABC Family Trust, Registration Number IT1234/2020, duly
represented herein by its trustee, Sarah Green, Identity
Number 750303 0123 081, married out of community of
