Covenant Of Warranty Student Symposium: Texas Land Titles., Barbara E. Rosenberg Dec 1974

Covenant Of Warranty Student Symposium: Texas Land Titles., Barbara E. Rosenberg

St. Mary's Law Journal

The covenant of warranty runs with the land and is a guarantee by the grantor that title is vested in them and will vest in the grantee upon conveyance. Although the covenant of warranty is an indemnification for failure of title, in Texas it is the broadest of the deed covenants, encompassing the covenant of quiet enjoyment and the covenant against encumbrances. The covenant of warranty requires the grantor to defend title as well as to indemnify for its failure. When there is a warranted title after the conveyance is made, the grantor is estopped to assert this after acquired …

Constitutional Law—Eminent Domain—Just Compensation For A Lessee's Renewal Expectation—Almota Farmers Elevator & Warehouse Co. V. United States, 409 U.S. 470 (1973), Mark W. Pennak Nov 1974

Constitutional Law—Eminent Domain—Just Compensation For A Lessee's Renewal Expectation—Almota Farmers Elevator & Warehouse Co. V. United States, 409 U.S. 470 (1973), Mark W. Pennak

Washington Law Review

The district court accepted Almota's theory of valuation, but was reversed by the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The Supreme Court reinstated the district court's judgment. Held: Just compensation for a leasehold bearing improvements owned by the lessee is measured by what a willing buyer would pay to a willing seller for the leasehold, taking into account the possibility of renewal. Almota Farmers Elevator & Warehouse Co. v. United States, 409 U.S. 470 (1973).

The Private Use Of Public Power: The Private University And The Power Of Eminent Domain, Charles Fels Special Projects Editor, N. T. Adams, Richard Carmody, Margaret E. Clark, Randolph H. Lanier, James C. Smith, Robert M. White

Vanderbilt Law Review

The study which follows attempts to trace, in a necessarily limited fashion, the evolving use of eminent domain on behalf of private interest groups throughout the last century and a half of American legal history. Part One of the study traces the broadening scope of eminent domain in the United States during the 19th and 20th centuries, focusing on the direct use of eminent domain by private interest groups as a key element in the increasing breadth of the power. Part Two delineates the process whereby one modern private interest group-an informal aggregation of American colleges and universities-succeeded in acquiring …

Alternative Gains Tax Treatments Of Decedents' Appreciated Capital Assets, D. Allen Grumbine Apr 1974

Alternative Gains Tax Treatments Of Decedents' Appreciated Capital Assets, D. Allen Grumbine

Vanderbilt Law Review

The present treatment of appreciated assets under section 1014' of the Code permits a great deal of accrued appreciation to escape the income tax. While decedents pay a greater estate tax because asset appreciation swells their estates, they pay no gains tax at death on this accrued appreciation. Moreover, the recipients of the decedent's property generally take a stepped-up basis for the property equal to its fair market value at the time of death. A great deal of criticism has been leveled at this system, and numerous proposals have been made for remedying the situation: imposition of a capital gains …


The Commingling Of Separate And Community Funds: The Requirement Of Tracing In Texas., Charles J. Fitzpatrick Mar 1974

The Commingling Of Separate And Community Funds: The Requirement Of Tracing In Texas., Charles J. Fitzpatrick

St. Mary's Law Journal

The status of specific items of property as separate or community property is a frequent subject of divorce litigation in Texas. Spouses will have unfriendly presumptions in favor of the community estate when separate property funds have been commingled. Rebutting these presumptions requires the spouse to trace the original separate property into the particular assets on hand at the time of the dispute. As Texas case law illustrates, however, tracing can be difficult, and a court’s strict adherence to it can cause harsh and often inequitable results. Although there have been instances of courts allowing less than specific tracing, these …

Gimme Shelter: Reform Of Real Estate Tax Shelters, Farrell C. Glasser Jan 1974

Gimme Shelter: Reform Of Real Estate Tax Shelters, Farrell C. Glasser

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Of the many different kinds of tax shelter investments that are available to high bracket taxpayers, the most commonly encountered device is the real estate tax shelter. This article describes the way a tax shelter operates, from both a business-economic and a tax viewpoint, and examines the real estate tax shelter from the standpoint of possible tax reform to correct the abuses that stem from real estate syndications.


Real Property Tax Relief For The Elderly, Edsell M. Eady Jr. Jan 1974

Real Property Tax Relief For The Elderly, Edsell M. Eady Jr.

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article focuses on the elderly person's problem of coping with real property taxation. Although property taxes vary in intensity from place to place, the elderly bear a particularly heavy burden. The property tax generally does not reflect a taxpayer's ability to pay, since it is usually levied in proportion to the value of real property rather than in relation to a homeowner's income. Thus people with low incomes may have to pay a greater percentage of their incomes as real property tax than people with higher incomes. The real property tax can be a formidable problem for an elderly …


Real Property- The Rule Against Perpetuities- Option Contract Held Void Due To Violation Of The Common Law Rule Jan 1974

Real Property- The Rule Against Perpetuities- Option Contract Held Void Due To Violation Of The Common Law Rule

University of Richmond Law Review

The Rule against Perpetuities as originally developed in England and crystalized over two centuries is still alive and thriving in the Commonwealth of Virginia as evidenced by the recent supreme court case of United Virginia Bank v. Union Oil. While a number of states have enacted legislation or judicially adopted ways and means to avoid the harsh results often dictated by the common law rule, it appears that Virginia may be defending a rearguard position which may not be functional in terms of today's commercial world.

Survey Of The Virginia Law Of Landlord And Tenant, J. Rodney Johnson Jan 1974

Survey Of The Virginia Law Of Landlord And Tenant, J. Rodney Johnson

University of Richmond Law Review

No aspect of the law of real property affects more people as pervasively as the law of landlord and tenant. A recent study undertaken by the Virginia Housing Study Commission showed that almost fifty percent of the Commonwealth's population are tenants.


Condominiums In Virginia- The Condominium Act Of 1974 Jan 1974

Condominiums In Virginia- The Condominium Act Of 1974

University of Richmond Law Review

The condominium is one of the fastest growing forms of housing in the United States. As a legal concept, the condominium involves "separate ownership of individual units in a multi-unit project," along with an undivided interest in common areas owned by members of the project. Unit owners, while owning their units separately, are responsible for expenses relative to the management and maintenance of the project.


Note: Landmark Preservation: The Problem Of The Tax-Exempt Owner, Mary Spearing Jan 1974

Note: Landmark Preservation: The Problem Of The Tax-Exempt Owner, Mary Spearing

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note examines the effectiveness of the 1965 New York City Landmark Preservation Act with respect to its ability to confront the conflict between the desire to preserve the city's history and the individual's constitutional right to use and control her own property, with particular attention to the unprotected status of the tax-exempt property owner. The author argues that the legislation fails to mesh the two conflicting goals of preservation and just compensation to property owners. She suggests that in order to do so, perhaps a different standard of value should be placed on landmark preservation that focuses on non-economic …
