Obligation to convey legal estate

(1) Where, by reason of a statutory or other right of reverter, or of an equitable right of entry taking effect, or for any other reason, a person becomes entitled to require a legal estate to be vested in him, then and in any such case the estate owner whose estate is affected shall be bound to convey or create such legal estate as the case may require. (2) If the trustees for sale or other estate owners refuse or neglect for one month after demand to transfer or create any such legal estate, or if by reason of their being out of Belize or being unable to be found, or for any other reason, the court is satisfied that the transaction cannot otherwise be effected, or cannot be effected without undue delay or expense, it may, on the application of any person interested direct the Registrar to issue to the persons entitled to require the legal estate to be vested in them the appropriate certificate of title or to convey to the persons entitled the requisite legal estate. (3) If any question arises whether any and what legal estate ought to be transferred or created as aforesaid, any person interested may apply to the court for directions in the manner provided by this Act. (4) This section does not affect a purchaser of a legal estate taking free from an equitable interest or power.
