What happens to your debt and taxes when you die in South Africa

your debt and taxes

Death is not absolute when it comes to your debt and taxes in South Africa.

Financial services company, Sanlam, notes that the bad news is that if you have debt on your assets including your car and home, “won’t become sweet parting gifts from the creditor to your loved ones”. They still need to be paid for, or they can be taken away.
