We handle liquidations, deceased estates, business rescue, curatorships and divorce settlements, and we give you a straight read on where you stand from the first conversation. Tell us about your matter and we'll take it from there.
St.Adens was founded in July 1993 by P.J. Maryn van Staden and has practised insolvency in Pretoria ever since. Our liquidators serve on the National Panel of the Master of the High Court.

The six areas below cover most of what we do. Whichever one fits your situation, the starting point is the same: tell us what has happened, and we'll explain the process and what it involves from there.
Insolvency occurs when a person or company can no longer meet their debts because liabilities exceed assets. Liquidation is the legal process that follows, settling with creditors and winding up affairs so all parties can move forward. We guide clients through each stage of that process, from the initial assessment to a resolution that gives them a genuine fresh start.
Administering a deceased estate means identifying and valuing assets, settling outstanding debts, and distributing what remains to beneficiaries in line with the deceased's wishes. It's a process that can quickly become complicated when disputes arise. Our team manages the legal procedures involved, so families can focus on what matters while we handle the detail.
Rehabilitation is about rebuilding, putting a practical plan in place to deal with debt, restore your credit standing, and set a budget you can sustain. Our advisors shape each plan around the client's circumstances, helping them regain control of their finances and plan ahead with confidence.
A divorce settlement sets out how assets, finances, and (where children are involved) custody arrangements will be handled once a marriage ends, becoming legally binding when filed with the court. Our attorneys negotiate these terms on our clients' behalf, working toward an agreement that's fair and holds up in practice, not just on paper.
When someone is unable to manage their own financial and legal affairs, the court can appoint a Curator Bonis to act in their interests. We provide this service through qualified professionals who oversee the individual's assets responsibly, ensuring they're protected and properly managed on their behalf.
Business rescue offers a legal route back to solvency for companies in financial distress, giving them room to restructure rather than close down. Our practitioners assess the business, develop a rescue plan suited to its specific challenges, and work to stabilise operations, protect jobs, and put the company back on stable footing.
