Voluntary surrender is a term used in the context of insolvency and sequestration in South Africa to refer to the act of an individual willingly handing over their assets to a trustee for the benefit of their creditors. This process is typically used when an individual is unable to pay their debts and is seeking to avoid the formal sequestration process, which can be lengthy and costly.
The process of voluntary surrender for sequestration in South Africa involves the individual agreeing to a trustee taking control of their assets.
