Q. In 1990, A, B & C purchased a real property but agreed that the same be registered under the name of A. In 2009, B & C asked for partition, but A contended that he was already the exclusive owner more than 20 years on the ground of laches having lapsed since the registration of the property under his name. Is A correct? (Solved)

1. A is not correct because he is merely a trustee in an express trust.

2. A is not correct because he did not repudiate the trust, it being an express trust.

3. A is correct due to laches, B & C having kept silent for so long.

4. A is correct because one year after the registration of the property, his title became indefeasible.
