Property held in a spouse's name is excluded from the statutory definition of a benami transaction, so a plea that the father was the exclusive owner was not barred. The notes explain that the spouse's attestation and acceptance of the father's will, coupled with acceptance of benefits under it, invoked the doctrine of election and prevented an inconsistent ownership claim.

Permissive occupation could be ended through mandatory injunction to obtain vacant possession.
