The administration of trusts forms part of the duties of the Master of the High Court. There are two types of trust:
- an inter-vivos trust is created between living persons
- a testamentary trust derives from a valid will of a deceased.
Information on how to register a trust as well as how to terminate it is available on the website of the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development.
