A Trustee’S Fiduciary Duties At The Start And End Of Administration, Robert Whitman
A Trustee’S Fiduciary Duties At The Start And End Of Administration, Robert Whitman
Catholic University Law Review
Prior to the creation of a trust and at its termination, a trustee’s fiduciary duties are often ambiguous. It is argued that, where fiduciary duties do not exist, contract law may be found to govern the rights of the settlor, the trustee, and the beneficiaries. This article refutes this argument because under the principles of modern contract law, certain conduct may be permitted that would not be acceptable if fiduciary duties existed more clearly. The most common problems arise in three areas: (1) the seeking of a receipt and release by a corporate fiduciary upon an informal termination of a …
The Moral Patient, The Honorable Fiduciary, And A Faltering Liberalism: An Exploration Of Professor Bryant's Call To Animal Respect, Iris J. Goodwin
The Moral Patient, The Honorable Fiduciary, And A Faltering Liberalism: An Exploration Of Professor Bryant's Call To Animal Respect, Iris J. Goodwin
Between the Species
Professor Bryant’s article – which seeks to discover whether aspects of an anticruelty statute can be based directly on a call to virtuous conduct – is a provocative piece of scholarship that harbors a much larger question: Can a general principle mandating full respect for animals be developed out of the moral methodology inhering in virtue ethics? Insights garnered in this rejoinder are meant to stand alongside those in Professor Bryant’s article to lend deep moral grounding to animal-respect as well as provide intimations of the way virtue ethics as a moral methodology might yield determinate answers to moral questions. …

Fiduciary Administration - Nominee Statutes - Transfer Of Securities Held For The Benefit Of Another, Joseph T. De Nicola
Fiduciary Administration - Nominee Statutes - Transfer Of Securities Held For The Benefit Of Another, Joseph T. De Nicola
Michigan Law Review
Michigan is the forty-second jurisdiction to enact a nominee statute. Nominee statutes authorize a fiduciary to nominate a third person to hold stock or securities in the third person's name without giving notice on the stock certificate or on the transfer books of the corporation of his qualified ownership. For the most part it has been assumed that these statutes would facilitate a more rapid transfer of securities. It is the purpose of this comment to compare and analyze these statutes and to determine whether they are the most effective means of accomplishing the end they are intended to serve.

Wills-Construction-Gift To Executor To Be Disposed Of In His Discretion As A General Power Of Appointment, Colvin A. Peterson, Jr., S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Testator, after bequeathing specific legacies, gave the residue of his estate to his executor to "dispose of any balance after the aforementioned gifts have been paid according to his wise discretion.'' The executor was the husband of testator's niece, one of the legatees, and he was well acquainted with testator. He declared his intention of disposing of the residue to testator's nieces, for whom testator had expressed concern. The trial court held the testator had attempted to create a trust by the residuary clause, which failed for indefiniteness. On appeal, held, reversed. The testator created a general power of …
