Practice question
A judge arranges for a relative to bid at a judicial auction for land subject to execution in his own court. The judge supplies the purchase funds and is the actual intended acquirer. He argues both the auction and the relative’s name remove every restriction. Which is best?
- Neither the auction setting nor the intermediary avoids the expressly covered indirect acquisition
- Every judicial auction exempts judicial officers
- Record title in the relative’s name conclusively prevents any indirect acquisition
- Funding by the judge is irrelevant to beneficial acquisition
- A judge may privately waive the restriction
