The Creation Of Joint Tenancies--Common Law Technicalities Vs. The Grantor's Intent, Ellen Carle Lilly

West Virginia Law Review

Can the owner of a piece of real property in West Virginia create a joint tenancy in himself and another by making a direct conveyance if the requisite intent to create a joint tenancy with right of survivorship is expressed? Or does a tenancy in common result due to the lack of the unities of time and title? The general rule is that except in the situation where the parties to the conveyance are husband and wife, a direct conveyance from one to himself and another as joint tenants results in a tenancy in common despite the express contrary intent …

Zoning—Rezones: New Standards For Governing Bodies—Parkridge V. City Of Seattle, 89 Wn. 2d 454, 573 P.2d 359 (1978), Alice L. Hearst

Washington Law Review

This note examines four aspects of rezoning decisions addressed by the Parkridge court: the policy basis upon which rezoning actions may legitimately be grounded; the quantum of evidence necessary to support a rezoning decision;" the allocation of the burden of proof in rezoning actions; and the presumption of validity, if any, accorded local rezoning decisions.

Alternative Models Of Ante-Mortem Probate And Procedural Due Process Limitations On Succession, Gregory S. Alexander, Albert M. Pearson

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Ante-mortem probate stands as a significant recent development in the American law of wealth succession. It confronts a problem that seriously impairs our probate system, the depredatious will contest, and promises to help revitalize the probate process. Already enacted in several states and currently under active study by the Joint Editorial Board of the Uniform Probate Code and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, ante-mortem probate is likely to be widely implemented in some form. But while legislators and academics alike support ante-mortem probate as a general idea, disagreement has emerged over the specific form it should …

The Landmarks Of Federal Hill: The Pushcart Struggle 1930-1942 (Conclusion), Joseph R. Muratore

Joseph Muratore papers: Newspaper Columns

I hope you have enjoyed this brief series on the Struggle of the Push Cart vendors.

Many have thought that the vendors merely stopped placing their stands on Balbo Avenue and Spruce Street not realizing the great struggle suffered to remain there, however, after the vendors were allowed to return to their former stands, a few were old men and never returned.

Some became discouraged and looked for work elsewhere, those that remained until 1962 slowly died and no one replaced them.

Those who were familiar with the history of the stands became discouraged in their attempting to establish vending …

Loosening The Grip Of The Dead Hand: Shall We Abolish Legal Future Interests In Land?, C. Dent Bostick

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Article is concerned with a dilemma in the law of Future Interests. The dilemma stems from the needs and demands of a modern society to convey land cleanly and quickly and from the desire of property owners, especially landowners, to direct from the grave the on-going disposition of their property. This desire of landowners has always played a role in English and American property law. Much of the energy of the early judiciary was devoted to counter balancing the numerous ingenious arrangements devised by persons to effectuate continual control of their property.

Historic Preservation—Transferable Development Rights As Mitigation Rather Than Just Compensation—Penn Central Transportation Co. V. New York City, 438 U.S. 104 (1978), Douglas L. Batey

Washington Law Review

Plaintiff was prevented by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Law from erecting a multi-story office building above Grand Central Railroad Terminal. Plaintiff was not compensated, but was allowed to transfer the Terminal's unused development rights to other sites. The trial court found this restriction unconstitutional unless "just compensation" was provided, and granted injunctive and declaratory relief. The New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, reversed, finding that Penn Central, the plaintiff, had not been unconstitutionally deprived of its property. This decision was affirmed by the New York Court of Appeals. In a six to three decision, the United States Supreme …

The Land Rights Of Indigenous Canadian Peoples, Brian Slattery

Brian Slattery

The problem examined in this work is whether the land rights originally held by Canada's Indigenous peoples survived the process whereby the British Crown acquired sovereignty over their territories, and, if so, in what form. The question, although historical in nature, has important implications for current disputes involving Aboriginal land claims in Canada. It is considered here largely as a matter of first impression. The author has examined the historical evidence with a fresh eye, in the light of contemporaneous legal authorities. Due consideration is given to modern case-law, but the primary focus is upon the historical process proper.
