(1) Every instrument evidencing a disposition shall be executed by all persons shown by the register to be proprietors of the interest affected and by all other parties to the instrument.
However, the Registrar may dispense with execution by any particular party (other than the donee under a disposition by way of gift) where he or she considers that such execution is unnecessary.
(2) Subject to section 79(2) an instrument shall be deemed to have been executed—
(a) by a natural person only if signed by him or her or if he or she is unable to sign only if executed in the manner required by the Civil Code or other law;
(b) by a corporation—
(i) if duly sealed with the common or corporate seal of the corporation or otherwise executed in the manner required or authorised by the statute, articles of Association or other instrument under which the corporation was incorporated or by which the corporation is governed,
(ii) in the case of a corporation not required by law to have a common seal, if signed by such persons as are authorised in that behalf by any law or by the statute or charter of the corporation or, in the absence of any express provision, by the persons duly appointed in writing for that purpose by the corporation, evidence of which appointment has been produced to the satisfaction of the Registrar. (Amended by Act 2 of 1987)
