The Real Estate Investment Trust: State Tax, Tort, And Contract Liabilities Of The Trust, Trustee, And Shareholder, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Comment will attempt to alert potential investors in and trustees of REITs to the full extent of the liabilities that they could suffer for contract debts incurred in the name of the trust and torts committed by trust personnel. Since state tax considerations also play a significant role in investment decisions, the manner in which each state taxes the REIT and its shareholders on income derived from property and business in that state will also be investigated. Finally, a rational path out of the morass created by current state law will be articulated in order to prompt renewed discussion …

Bankruptcy Proceedings For Insolvent Decedents' Estates, Richard V. Wellman Jan 1973

Bankruptcy Proceedings For Insolvent Decedents' Estates, Richard V. Wellman

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Under present law, bankruptcy proceedings cannot be instituted by or against insolvent decedents' estates. Creditors of insolvent decedents must look to state probate laws for satisfaction. But these laws are more concerned with the control of solvent estates than with the affairs of the impecunious. Also, transfers of wealth at death by nonprobate means are coming to be the rule rather than the exception, and it is frequently very difficult for creditors of decedents to obtain satisfaction of unsecured claims from nonprobate assets. This article advocates the extension of bankruptcy laws to insolvent decedents' estates and explores problems and solutions …

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

After considering the present pattern of probate court structure in the United States, this article considers the need for probate court reform as reflected in the deficiencies of the present system.
