Answer

Can properties in Mallorca be registered in the names of relatives or children?

Yes, property can be formally registered in the name of relatives, including elderly family members or minors, if the legal setup allows it. That does not automatically mean anything illegal is happening, but it can make it harder to see who controls the asset in practice. Investigators pay close attention when ownership is split in ways that seem designed to obscure the source of funds.
