Unauthorised Transfer of Jointly Owned Property

I am raising concerns regarding what appears to be *****ulent and irregular handling of a jointly owned property between myself and my ex-husband, Mr. Sibiya.

My ex-husband and I purchased the property together, and we both contributed towards the bond repayments until our separation. However, I later discovered that the property had allegedly been transferred and registered solely under his name without my knowledge or consent.

The attorneys involved insinuated that I was not contributing towards the property, which is incorrect. Furthermore, I was advised that there was no need for me to sign any settlement agreement relating to the property when I asked.

I only became aware of the situation when I contacted Standard Bank to inquire about the settlement amount on the bond. I was then informed that the bank could not provide me with any information because Mr. Sibiya was reflected as the sole owner of the property.

Following this, I approached the attorneys handling the matter for clarity, but they were dismissive and failed to provide satisfactory explanations. To date, I still do not understand how the property could have been transferred into my ex-husband’s sole name without my signature or consent and how Standard Bank accepted such changes without the required authorization from both parties.

I am currently pursuing the matter with the assistance of a new attorney, as my previous divorce attorneys have not been assisting me adequately and have instead referred me to the liquidators.

I intend to investigate the legality of the transfer process, the validity of any documents submitted, and whether there was any misrepresentation, negligence, or *****ulent conduct involved in removing my rights and interests in the property.
