When a person has been sequestrated, he/she can apply for rehabilitation. Once rehabilitated, the sequestration comes to
an end and the insolvent can start afresh. Rehabilitation is not compulsory after you have been sequestrated but in certain circumstances an Rehabilitation would like his/her credit worthiness to be reinstated as quickly as possible for example when you want to buy a property or when you need your name to be in good faith for business purposes.
