1. What is the difference between sequestration and liquidation?

Sequestration refers to the insolvency process for individuals, while liquidation applies to companies or close corporations. Both aim to fairly distribute assets among creditors and may lead to a legal discharge of debts.

2. What is business rescue, and how is it different from liquidation?

Business rescue is a legal process designed to rehabilitate a financially distressed company, allowing it to restructure and continue operating. Liquidation, on the other hand, ends the company’s existence and involves selling off assets to pay creditors.

3. Can I keep any of my assets during sequestration?

Some personal belongings may be excluded from sequestration, but most assets form part of the insolvent estate. We advise clients on their rights, obligations, and any applicable exclusions under the law.
