Report No. 57

2.4. Benamidar representing the true owner.-

In general, the benamidar fully represents the owner of the property in dealings with the third persons. In fact, that is the very object of benami transactions. The property stands "in the name" of the benamidar, and a third party would not be able to challenge his title so long as the real owner does not come in the picture. The cases mentioned in the footnotes illustrate or discuss the application of this principle.1-2-3

At the same time, it is clear that the Benamidar cannot act in opposition to the real owner.4
