Support Of The Surviving Spouse And Minor Children In Virginia: Proposed Legislation V. Present Law, J. Rodney Johnson
Support Of The Surviving Spouse And Minor Children In Virginia: Proposed Legislation V. Present Law, J. Rodney Johnson
Law Faculty Publications
This article will examine the various economic needs of the typical family during both the probate and the post-probate periods. The discussion will be presented under three separate headings which, it is hoped, will help to identify the major areas of concern. These three major areas of concern are: (I) a family allowance-to defray the ordinary and necessary expenses associated with the maintenance of a household for the decedent's family during the probate period, (II) a right to exempt property-to insure the continued possession by the decedent's family of those articles of personal property that are indispensable to the maintenance …
Notes On Virginia Civil Procedure, William Hamilton Bryson
Notes On Virginia Civil Procedure, William Hamilton Bryson
Law Faculty Publications
This book is an outline of the introductory course on Virginia civil procedure which the author teaches at University of Richmond. The purpose of this publication is to give the students an introduction to the subject which can be read prior to the classroom discussion. It is a very brief sketch of the subject, but there are references in the footnotes to cases and statutes or to secondary works which give case references. The scope of my course and of this book excludes all federal law, criminal law and habeas corpus, evidence, creditors' rights, and probate proceedings; these matters are …
Inheritance Rights Of Children In Virginia, J. Rodney Johnson
Inheritance Rights Of Children In Virginia, J. Rodney Johnson
Law Faculty Publications
The rights of children to succeed to a deceased ancestor's property interests in Virginia are treated in some fifteen separate sections of the Virgina Code. When one considers that these fifteen sections were enacted over a period of 189 years, as the result of legislation introduced by various individuals who were at any given time focusing on a particular portion of this larger problem area without always taking into account the "spin-off' effect that their particular legislation might have on all of the other sections dealing with the succession rights of children, it is not surprising to find that there …
A Letter Of Lewis Burwell To James Burrough, July 8, 1734, William Hamilton Bryson
A Letter Of Lewis Burwell To James Burrough, July 8, 1734, William Hamilton Bryson
Law Faculty Publications
Not long ago while rummaging through the record office in Bury St. Edmunds, I came across a letter 1 from Lewis Burwell (1710-1756) of Gloucester County, Virginia, to James Burrough (1691-1764), his cousin and former tutor at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, which sheds some light upon the Burwell family and the education of colonial Virginians in the mother country.
The Abolition Of Dower In Virginia: The Uniform Probate Code As An Alternative To Proposed Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson
The Abolition Of Dower In Virginia: The Uniform Probate Code As An Alternative To Proposed Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson
Law Faculty Publications
Elsewhere in the pages of this issue the reader will find a discussion of some of the more important legislation enacted by the 1972 session of the General Assembly of Virginia. This article is concerned with one of the bills that did not pass-the bill to abolish dower and curtesy. Why all this concern with a dead bill, especially since the dower problem is one of long standing which has sustained attacks before? The answer is that the forces of opposition have grown stronger each year among Virginia lawyers. The Virginia Advisory Legislative Council has recommended the conversion of dower …
