Principle: Property can be transferred only by a living person to another living person.
Facts: ‘A’ transfers property of which he is the owner in favor of the unborn child of B.

• A. Property has been transferred to the unborn child
• B. Property has been transferred to B
• C. Property has not been transferred to the unborn child
• D. Property will be transferred to the unborn child after his birth

Hint:

In legal terms, a property transfer to an unborn child is not valid until the child is born and recognized as a person.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

According to the principle, property can only be transferred by a living person to another living person. Since the unborn child is not yet a living person, the transfer of property to the unborn child is not valid. A transfer of property to an unborn child can be valid only once the child is born and becomes a legal person. Therefore, the transfer cannot take place before the child’s birth.
Thus, the correct answer is (C). Property has not been transferred to the unborn child.
Option (A) is incorrect because the property cannot be transferred to the unborn child before birth. Option (B) is incorrect because the property is meant to be transferred to the unborn child, not B directly. Option (D) is incorrect because the transfer will not occur before the birth; it will occur once the child is born and legally recognized.
