"Advancement
A presumed resulting trust may be rebutted by the counter
presumption of advancement.
• A presumption of advancement arises when a person providing
purchase money for an acquisition has an equitable obligation to
support or make provision for the person to whom the property is
conveyed. This arises between a husband and wife, father and child.
" use a scenario to explain it
Hello ****,
To illustrate the concept of presumption of advancement with a scenario:
Imagine a father, Mr. Mensah, buys a house and registers it in his daughter, Ama's, name. If there is a dispute about the ownership, the law presumes Mr. Mensah intended to gift the house to Ama due to their father-daughter relationship (presumption of advancement). However, if Mr. Mensah can show evidence that he intended to hold the house in trust for himself, this presumption can be rebutted.
Would you like more examples or details on this concept?

" explain it in simple terms
Hello ****,
In simple terms:
- When someone buys a property but puts it in another person's name (like a husband buying a house and putting it in his wife's name), the law usually assumes the buyer (husband) meant it as a gift.
- This assumption can be challenged if there is evidence that the buyer didn't intend it as a gift and actually wanted to keep the property for themselves.
