Eulenda and her team have been super helpful and supportive whenever we have requested her services.

Tiko Africa.org

It was such a wonderful experience working with Eulenda's law firm. A very professional yet kind group of young ladies led by a very inspiring young leader. They do not only help you with conveyancing activities, but empower you with future financial prospects.

Professor Mchiza

Eulenda was very helpful and thorough with handling the transfer of my new apartment. It was my first time going through this process, and Eulenda made me feel comfortable and well-informed with the process. I would recommend her practice for transfer matters.

Jared Goddard

I never realized a house sale could be so anxiety provoking. But when you have a gem like Eulenda on your team to facilitate the necessary procedures all worries go out the door. Her work is efficient, extremely professional and she has the patience of Moses. Thank you Lebese-Cussons Attorneys for making our journey smooth sailing.

Celeste Rich

Eulenda has been extremely helpful and professional from our first encounter and throughout. She had helped me with purchasing a property abroad [Spain] and although the process wasn't easy but she made it stress free for...protecting my interest at all times. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy property in South Africa if I am not a South African citizen?

Yes. Foreign nationals can legally buy and own property in South Africa, subject to exchange control

regulations. Lebese-Cussons Attorneys specializes in guiding international clients through this process

seamlessly, ensuring full compliance with all regulatory requirements.

What does it mean to buy property "the smart way"?

It means going beyond just signing an offer. At Lebese-Cussons Attorneys, we ensure every property

acquisition is:

• Legally sound (no hidden risks)

• Tax efficient (minimizing future liabilities)

• Structured for long-term wealth and estate planning

Can foreigners work in South Africa?

Yes, but you need a valid work visa. Employers must prove that the position cannot easily be filled by a

South African (except for critical skills visas). Lebese-Cussons Attorneys assists with all work visa

applications and employer compliance.

How do I choose the right business structure for my company?

It depends on your goals. A (Pty) Ltd offers limited liability and flexibility, while a trust or holding structure

may be better for asset protection or tax planning. Lebese-Cussons Attorneys advises based on your

specific needs and long-term objectives.

What is "Buyer's Due Diligence" and why is it important?

It means going beyond just signing an offer. At Lebese-Cussons Attorneys, we ensure every property

acquisition is:

• Legally sound (no hidden risks)

• Tax efficient (minimizing future liabilities)

• Structured for long-term wealth and estate planning

This protects you from costly mistakes. Lebese-Cussons Attorneys specializes in comprehensive due

diligence investigations.

Can I get permanent residence in South Africa?

Yes, through qualifying categories such as work (after 5 years), business investment, retirement, financial

independence, or family relationships. Lebese-Cussons Attorneys assists with all permanent residence

applications and ensures eligibility requirements are met.

What makes Lebese-Cussons Attorneys different from other legal firms?

We don't just handle transactions – we protect your long-term interests. While others focus on single

services, Lebese-Cussons Attorneys provides integrated legal solutions covering property acquisition,

business law, immigration, tax planning, and estate planning to secure your wealth and future.

Do I need both a Conveyancer and Lebese-Cussons Attorneys for property

purchases?

As attorneys, Lebese-Cussons Attorneys can act as both, but we go further by providing compliance

checks, estate planning integration, and tax efficiency advice that standard conveyancers don't offer –

giving you comprehensive protection for your investment.

Can Lebese-Cussons Attorneys help with both South African and international

matters?

Yes. We work with international clients to align South African legal requirements with their global

business, property, immigration, tax, and succession goals, ensuring seamless integration across

jurisdictions.
