Voluntary sequestration is the surrendering of your estate (financial affairs) to the Master of High Court in terms of the Insolvency Act 24 of 1936. We will assess your debt and take in consideration income and monthly expenses (living costs) and determine an affordable monthly instalment.
Your creditors will only receive a percentage of outstanding debt and there will be no interest accumulating monthly. The Master of High Court will appoint a curator/trustee to attend to the administration of your insolvent estate. You will be relieved from any financial obligation to your creditors thus will be debt free and all creditors need to bring a claim against the insolvent estate. Payment to creditors will only be distributed by curator after full cash amount (creditors benefit) is paid to curator and claims have been assessed by curator. You can however only bring a sequestration application if you own assets (immovable property, movable property or cash). The reason for this is because in terms of the Insolvency Act, when one sequestrates there must be a benefit to creditors. If the benefit to creditors cannot be made the court cannot grant the application.
