Any contract entered into by a minor is voidable by law and therefore a minor is incapable of entering into a contract for the sale or the disposition of registered land. However, a Certificate of Title may be issued to a minor and the Registrar of Titles shall state the age of such minor so far as is known to him (Section 64 of the Registration of Titles Act).

Any dealing with a minor will not be registered. Where it is intended to sell or otherwise dispose of land registered in the name of a minor, a trustee is to be appointed, usually by an application to a Court, to act in the dealing on behalf of the minor. The transfer, mortgage or the instrument to complete the dealing is prepared in the name of the minor and executed by the trustee. An adult may also be included in the instrument as joint proprietor or otherwise. An attested copy of the appointment of trustee must be annexed to the instrument lodged for registration.

Another way to avoid the appointment of a trustee where the land is transferred to an adult and an infant jointly is to reserve the transferee, either during his lifetime or during the minority of the minor, the right to transfer mortgage, lease and otherwise deal with land as if the adult were the sole proprietor
