The Right Of Foreign Corporations To Hold Land, W. A. Coutts
The Right Of Foreign Corporations To Hold Land, W. A. Coutts
Michigan Law Review
Few questions have been more prolific of litigation than those relating to the legal status of foreign corporations, and the right of foreign corporations to hold land is among the most important of those questions. The statutes of most of the states prescribe certain limitations to the acquisition and holding of land by corporations, foreign and domestic; and the tendency is to place the former upon the same basis as the latter. It is impracticable in this article to discuss those various statutes; the purpose is merely to indicate the reasoning of the courts which is in general applicable in …

Does The Power To Alienate In Fee Simple Defeat An Executory Devise?, Bradley M. Thompson
Does The Power To Alienate In Fee Simple Defeat An Executory Devise?, Bradley M. Thompson
Articles
Under the common law one who held an estate in lands in fee simple absolute was the sole owner of such lands, and 1hisright to enjoy the estate and exercise all the powers and privileges incident thereto could not be restricted by the devisor or grantor. The rights and privileges incident to an estate in fee simple constituted the estate-they were all essential, they were its bone, sinew and blood, and in the absence of any one of them the estate was regarded as less than a fee simple.
Torrens Acts': Some Comparisons, James H. Brewster
Torrens Acts': Some Comparisons, James H. Brewster
Articles
The widespread discussion during the last ten years of the general scheme of registration of title to land, popularly known as the "Torrens System," has served to satisfy most disinterested lawyers and laymen of the general merits of the system. Consideration of the matter has been confined to no one section of the country, but has extended from Maine to California, and from Oregon to Texas. The result has been that laws embodying the general principles of the system have been enacted in six states, and proposed laws are before the legislatures of several others. The fact, however, that some …
Foreign Voluntary Assignments For The Benefit Of Creditors, Edson R. Sunderland
Foreign Voluntary Assignments For The Benefit Of Creditors, Edson R. Sunderland
Articles
AlI laws concerning property rights are based upon the broad - doctrine that every person who owns property may dispose of the same as he sees fit. The right of disposal of property is inseparably united to the right of property itself, and indeed is an essential element of the concept of property. It might even serve as a definition of property, viewing property as that which one may dispose of,-a definition too general, it is true, for practical purposes, but undoubtedly a correct and valuable metaphysical theorem
