Short answer - Yes.
The web professional SHOULD either register the domain in the owner's name
or provide the owner with a written notice of the terms of registration.
But there's no legal obligation for them to do this. Really it's the
client's responsibility to know what they are paying for.

May take some doing, but I believe it is possible to have a registration
declared void if the WHOIS info on the registrant and/or administrative
contact is invalid or not responding.
Do some research in the registrar's, and ICANN's terms of service.
Good luck.
regards.
