Children owning land?

If land is donated or bequethed to children born or to be born of any person or from any marriage, or is acquired on behalf of such children, transfer of the land can be effected on behalf of such children. In such a case, the land may be registered in the name of a person to hold it in trust on behalf of the children.

Once the identities of the children have been established after their birth the Deeds Office will, upon application, endorse the title deed with their names and the title deed will thereupon be deemed to be in favour of such children, as if the transfer had originally been passed to them in person.
