Can you buy shares in someone else's name?

I'm in the middle of a property settlement and my ex came to me and told me he bought shares in a company in my name as part of the settlement. He did this on his own accord without my knowledge - Is this possible?

The company is not listed on the ASX (will be soon apparently)

thanks guys -
The company is not dodgy I checked it out, they are ligitimate, and the ex has shares in them too. They are set to float this year.

I was just wondering if it was possible to buy in someone elses name without their permission or knowledge.

We are on good terms, and he doesn't have power of attorney or anything and he says he has a certificate coming with my name on it. Does sound weird, just thought I'd ask, I didn't think it was possible. thanks for your answers
