    From a strict business approach - You'd be debiting an asset account (representing the take-on value of the property) and crediting an income account (inheritance received perhaps?)

    Correct to debit the asset account. But the credit leg would be an capital item or trust funds (inheritance received). I would rather take it directly to trust funds than show it as an income as its not taxable as an income, it will only confuse SARS unnessary.
