About
ABI
Our Managing Director, Antoon Botha, was employed by the Deeds Office Johannesburg in 1990 where he did service in various departments (Information, Sectional Titles, Diagrams, Townships, Lodgements, Data, Distribution, Prep, Registration, Numbering, Final Check, Microfilming, and Delivery). After gaining extensive experience in the various departments of the Deeds Office he was promoted to Junior Examiner, thereafter to Senior Examiner, and ultimately to Assistant Registrar of Deeds.Having left the Deeds Office in June 2004 he at the time held the position of Acting Law Lecturer – Johannesburg. In the same year he took up his articles with a large firm of attorneys in Bedfordview, subsequent to which he was admitted as an attorney, conveyancer, and notary public. He was appointed Managing Director (Conveyancing) of BMV Attorneys in 2015. In 2016 he opened a practice in Edenvale under the name and style of Botha (Antoon) Attorney, which renders conveyancing and notarial services to third party firms of attorneys. To serve the ever-growing needs of our Clients, ABI was incorporated as a stand-alone practice in 2020.Our practice tends to conveyancing matters, renders notary public services, and litigates in the various courts. ABI’s litigants have rights of appearance in the High/Supreme Court in terms of Section 4(2) of the Rights of Appearance in Courts Act 62 of 1995, enabling them to act as counsel in High Court litigation matters, thereby avoiding the necessity of briefing outside counsel (advocates).ABI cultivated a long standing association with a renowned firm of attorneys who has access to all the major financial institutions such as FNB, ABSA, Nedbank, Standard Bank, Capitec & SA Homeloans for bond registration and cancellation purposes. Resulting from its association ABI extended their service offerings, and increased their footprint and reach to include Centurion, Edenvale, Pretoria, Northcliff, Randburg, Krugersdorp and Cape Town.We are confident that Antoon Botha’s 14 years’ experience in the Deeds Office, more than a decade’s experience in private practice management, together with its associated firms of attorneys allow us to render specialised services ranging from conveyancing, notary public and property development to a wide range of litigation services.
