ITA is pleased to announce that its new Level 3 course, Conveyancing for Paralegal (Level 3), was launched in March 2007.

In this course, students learn how to administer transfers resulting from the death of persons. The topics covered include:

• inheritance transfers
• sale by the executor in the deceased estate
• transfers by the executor to testamentary or inter-vivos trusts
• sale by a person (who subsequently died) during his/her lifetime

The course will also briefly look at the process of administration of estates, the law relating to wills, intestate succession, trusts, redistribution agreements, powers of executors and trustees and also the requirements of the Master of the High Court.

Students will learn how to draft the transfer documents and supplementary documents correctly and will know what to ask for and what to lodge.

The course consists of 8 lecture sessions and runs over approximately 8 weeks. The next Level 3 course is scheduled to start on Tuesday evening, 29 September 2009 and will consist of 8 weekly lectures. The lectures will take place from 18h00 to 20h00.

In order to be accepted on the course, students must either be in possession of an ITA certificate (for the Level 1 & 2 course) or must have suitable experience in the administration of transfer files (i.e. employed in a conveyancing  position and attending to transfers for no less than 6 months). If not both, but either of the aforegoing applies, a student may approach ITA for special admission on proof of relevant experience and good cause shown.

The deposit of R 500 is due on acceptance, in order to secure a place on the course. We can accommodate 18 students per class and seats are booked on a 'first come first serve' basis.
