It requires a High Court application under section 21(1) of the Matrimonial Property Act. Both spouses must consent and no creditor's interests can be prejudiced. The process involves: joint application by both spouses, a notarial post-nuptial contract drafted, registered in the Deeds Office after court approval. Typically costs R15,000–R30,000 and takes 3–6 months.
