Presumed Resulting Trust Explained
Summary
A presumed resulting trust occurs when one party provides funds for a property, but ownership is unclear. For example, if Kobby gives money to Ama to buy land without a clear agreement, the law may presume Ama holds the land in trust for Kobby. In the case Ramia v. Ramia [1981] GLR 275, the court determined that Mr. Ramia held property in trust for Mrs. Ramia based on evidence of intentions and contributions. This illustrates how courts assess trust obligations.Full Conversation

Use a scenario to explain a presumed resulting trust
Hi ****,
Sure, I'd be happy to explain a presumed resulting trust using a scenario.
**Scenario:**
Let's say you, ****, give money to your friend, Ama, to buy a piece of land. However, there is no clear agreement about who owns the land. Later, Ama tries to claim the land as her own.
**Presumed Resulting Trust:**
- The law presumes that Ama is holding the land in trust for you, ****.
- This means Ama is considered a trustee, and you are the beneficiary.
- Such a trust arises because you provided the purchase money, and there’s an assumption you intended to retain an interest in the land.
Do you have any other questions or need further clarification?

"In Re sasu-Twum (Dec’d); Sasu-Twum v Twum[*], this case supports the view that where a presumption of advancement had been established in favour of a child, the burden of rebutting that presumption lay on the party who disputed the advancement. The facts of the Sasu case are that the deceased was survived by a wife and four sons who were all infants at the time of the action. The deceased acquired six houses in his lifetime, two of which were acquired in the name of his eldest son. Faced with challenges in the distribution of the properties of the deceased, the administrators of the estate applied to the court by originating summons for a declaration, among others, that the two houses acquired in the name of the eldest son were held in trust for the said son. Counsel for the defendant argued that since the deceased had three other children, it was unreasonable for the deceased father to make provision for only one child and leaving the other three. Counsel invited the court to construe the conduct of the deceased as to include all four children to benefit from the two houses. Abban J. declined the defendant’s suggestion and underscored the position that where a father took a conveyance in the name of his child, the presumption would be that he intended to part with both his legal and beneficial interest in the property to the child. The learned trial judge reiterated that the party who disputed the presumption, which rebuttal evidence, “must be strong, such contemporaneous-not subsequent declaration or act of the father manifesting a clear intention that the child was to hold as trustee." brief it for me
