Transfer of property for the benefit of an unborn person made directly is

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

An unborn person cannot take as the direct living transferee contemplated by section 5. An inter vivos provision for that person’s benefit must operate through the legally recognised arrangement, including a prior interest and the whole remaining interest under section 13; section 20 then deals with vesting on birth. Thus a direct transfer to the unborn person is invalid, while a properly structured transfer for that person’s benefit may be valid.
