The law made payment of interest, taxes, insurance and amortization charges a prerequisite to suspension of foreclosure. Appellant brought an action to foreclose a mortgage on appellee's property for the non-payment of principal, contending that the suspension of foreclosure proceedings resulted in an impairment of the obligation …

Problems In Probate Law: Including A Model Probate Code, Lewis M. Simes, Paul E. Basye

Michigan Legal Studies Series

The publication of the Model Probate Code, together with related monographs and appendix notes, serves a dual purpose.

Patton, in his "Presentation of the Report of the Committee on Model Probate Code," printed elsewhere in this volume, has provided an appropriate preface for this publication in its first aspect.
