Marula & Finch is a Pretoria practice of conveyancers and notaries.

We register transfers and bonds for families, developers and banks, and draw up the notarial deeds that go with property. Every file has a named conveyancer, and we tell buyers, sellers and agents where the transfer stands at each step, from the signed offer to registration at the Deeds Office. We also draft wills and antenuptial contracts and wind up deceased estates.
