Trespassing Children: A Study In Expanding Liability, R. Neal Batson
Trespassing Children: A Study In Expanding Liability, R. Neal Batson
Vanderbilt Law Review
When confronted with a case involving a child plaintiff, attorneys and the courts should recognize that the doctrine of attractive nuisance is only one of several theories on which the plaintiff may proceed against a landowner. The status of a plaintiff should first be determined. If the child is a trespasser, then either the constant trespasser theory, the known trespasser theory, or the doctrine of attractive nuisance may be applicable. It is possible, however, that the court may reject any one or all of these theories and decide the particular case under the general negligence principles of foreseeability of harm …

Real Property Depreciation Recapture: An Ineffectual Reform Of The Tax Laws, Charles S. Franklin
Real Property Depreciation Recapture: An Ineffectual Reform Of The Tax Laws, Charles S. Franklin
Vanderbilt Law Review
This note stems from a belief that an asymmetrical body of tax laws is a challenge to the legal profession which, by training, experience and tradition, is well situated to spur and guide reform. It is my intention to outline the story of but one section of the Internal Revenue Code: why it was proposed, what it sought to do, how it underwent modification by an unsympathetic congressional committee, and how it was finally enacted as a superficial compromise with the underlying asymmetry of our tax laws. In short, what follows is an appended bar in the organ theme entitled …
Land Reform In Latin America: How To Have A Revolution Without A Revolution, Roy L. Prosterman
Land Reform In Latin America: How To Have A Revolution Without A Revolution, Roy L. Prosterman
Washington Law Review
It is almost universally recognized that land reform in Latin America is of vital interest to all of the countries of the hemisphere, and that it is long overdue. The degree of concentration of landholdings in the great estates (the latifundios) is astonishing: in Brazil, it appears that 1.5 per cent of all landholdings account for over 48 per cent of the farm area; in Chile, 1.4 per cent of holdings account for over 68 per cent of the farm area; in Ecuador, 0.17 per cent of holdings account for 37 per cent of the farm land; in Venezuela, 1.69 …

Determination Of Time Of Taking Of Avigation Easement, Anon
Determination Of Time Of Taking Of Avigation Easement, Anon
Washington Law Review
Plaintiffs, owners of property lying under the flight path of planes using the airport owned and operated by defendant, brought inverse condemnation actions alleging defendant had acquired an avigation easement. Having concluded that the date of the taking was, as a matter of law, when the first regularly scheduled use of the runways in question began, the trial court dismissed the complaints because plaintiffs acquired their properties after that date. On appeal, a unanimous court reversed and remanded. Held: The taking of an avigation easement occurs, not when the first regularly scheduled commercial use of an airport commences, but when …
Compensatioon For Condemnation Of Land Enhanced In Value By Agricultural Allotment, Anon
Compensatioon For Condemnation Of Land Enhanced In Value By Agricultural Allotment, Anon
Washington Law Review
Defendant's farm, including 550 acres devoted to production of cotton under an acreage allotment from the Department of Agriculture, was condemned by the federal government for an irrigation project. Defendant retained the right under section 1378 (a) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act to transfer its cotton quota to other property under its ownership, and did so. Trial before a jury resulted in an award to defendant based on the value of its property as a cotton farm, less the value of the section 1378 right retained. The government objected on the ground that the enhanced value to the land resulting …
Applicabiity Of Real Estate Sales Tax To Transfers For Benefit Of Unformed Corporation, Anon
Applicabiity Of Real Estate Sales Tax To Transfers For Benefit Of Unformed Corporation, Anon
Washington Law Review
A corporate promoter entered into an earnest money agreement which contemplated corporate purchase of real property. At the planned closing date, the incorporation process was incomplete. To avoid losing the property, the promoter entered into a real estate contract naming himself and two nominees as purchaser-trustees to hold the property in trust for the benefit of the proposed corporation. The one-percent real estate sales tax was paid by the seller, since the transfer to the trustees constituted a sale. One month later, the beneficiary was incorporated. Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustees transferred the property to the corporation by …
Some Municipal Annexation Problems In West Virginia, John Payne Scherer
Some Municipal Annexation Problems In West Virginia, John Payne Scherer
West Virginia Law Review
When a city or town in West Virginia desires to annex additional territory, it is frequently faced with perplexing problems in determining just what the proper procedures are. In some instances it is almost impossible to say with certainty whether certain annexation provisions of the code are applicable for a proposed annexation. One of the major problems is that the annexaton provisions of West Virginia's code are found in two separate chapters, chapter 8 and chapter 8A. The requirements for annexing additional territory are quite different in each of the two chapters. The purpose of this note is to examine …
Equity Exceeding Homestead Exemption Value Subject To Execution, Anon
Equity Exceeding Homestead Exemption Value Subject To Execution, Anon
Washington Law Review
An action was brought by the plaintiff widow to permanently enjoin a judgment creditor from satisfying a judgment on a community debt from the surplus equity in the homesteaded realty over the homestead exemption. Plaintiff and her husband, in 1956, filed a valid declaration of homestead on their residence in Washington, which was held as community property. In 1958, defendants were granted judgment against the plaintiff and her husband as a marital community. Plaintiff's husband died in 1961, and one of the defendants was appointed administratrix of his estate in Washington. A writ of execution was issued on defendant's judgment, …

Adverse Possession Of Severable Minerals, William B. Stoebuck
Adverse Possession Of Severable Minerals, William B. Stoebuck
West Virginia Law Review
The subject of adverse possession is attended by such mystery that one might think it traceable to the druidic rather than late medieval period of English history. Existence of this mystery, needless as it may be, makes it worthwhile for any article on adverse possession to commence by establishing some basic concepts. Foremost among these is that, as understood today, adverse possession of another's land for the period of the statute limiting his right to recover it not only bars his remedy but creates in the disseisor an original title in fee simple. Thus, adverse possession gives the wrongful possessor …

Toward Uniform Guardianship Legislation, William F. Fratcher
Michigan Law Review
The Model Probate Code, part IV of which covers guardianship of the persons and property of infants and mental incompetents, was published in 1946 under the auspices of the University of Michigan Law School. It was prepared for the Probate Law Division of the Section of Real Property, Probate, and Trust Law of the American Bar Association by its Model Probate Code Committee in cooperation with the research staff of the Law School. No state has adopted the Model Probate Code in its entirety, but parts of it have been enacted in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, …

Standing To Appeal Zoning Determinations: The "Aggrieved Person" Requirement, Alfred V. Boerner
Michigan Law Review
During the twentieth century the states have increasingly utilized their police power to control the use of land. All fifty states have now enacted zoning enabling legislation, much of which is based in whole or in part on the Standard State Zoning Enabling Act. Typically, these zoning acts, like the Standard Act, empower municipalities to promulgate land use regulations by dividing the municipality "into districts of such number, shape, and area as may be deemed best suited to carry out the purposes of this act ..." Most zoning acts specify that "all such regulations shall be uniform for each class …

Joint Tenancy: The Estate Lawyer's Continuing Burden, John E. Riecker
Joint Tenancy: The Estate Lawyer's Continuing Burden, John E. Riecker
Michigan Law Review
The discussion which follows will be divided into three major parts. First, it will be important to see why so much real and personal property remains in joint tenancy between husband and wife or in entireties tenancy. It has been almost eighteen years since Congress eliminated the necessity of holding property in this form in order to split income therefrom for income tax purposes. Is inertia the only reason for the popularity of joint ownership, or are there other reasons? Second, we shall review the familiar but false assumptions most laymen (and even a few attorneys) commonly make regarding the …

Perpetuities, Privity And Professional Liability, D. Orville Lahy
Perpetuities, Privity And Professional Liability, D. Orville Lahy
University of Richmond Law Review
As the number of malpractice cases against members of all professions continues to increase, it seems appropriate to review several new developments which may be of considerable importance to the practicing lawyer with respect to his professional liability. The time has come to approach this delicate subject with some plain language about property law and the portentous responsibility of the legal profession in the context of the rule against perpetuities.
