Trusts - Improved Real Estate - Validity Of Depreciation Reserves, Ross Kipka S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Depreciation of physical assets is an accounting procedure now taken for granted in the business and tax areas of the law. Its emergence in the field of trusts has been relatively slow, however, and even today it has not gained much acceptance by the courts. It is the purpose of this comment to examine some of the reasons why the courts have been reluctant in applying the depreciation concept to trusts, and in particular to those trusts that include improved real estate among the assets of the corpus.

Compulsory Joinder Of Parties In Civil Actions, John W. Reed

Michigan Law Review

Compulsory joinder cases involving interests in land display one peculiar and important characteristic: there is almost never any need in the state courts to wrestle with the question of whether a person is indispensable as distinguished from necessary. One hastens to add that this attribute of land cases appears to have gone largely unnoticed, but it exists none the less. It arises out of the fact that in a suit involving real property it is never impossible for the court to obtain jurisdiction over all persons interested therein to an extent which will enable the court to adjudicate controversies over …

Michigan Law Review

On appeal, held, affirmed. Without proof of positive fraud or …

Michigan Legal Studies Series

This analysis is …
