Descent And Distribution - Joint Ownership - Imposition Of Constructive Trust On Murderer Of Co-Tenant, John B. Schwemm S.Ed.
Descent And Distribution - Joint Ownership - Imposition Of Constructive Trust On Murderer Of Co-Tenant, John B. Schwemm S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
A husband, owning land with his wife as tenants by the entireties, killed her and immediately thereafter committed suicide. In an action to determine ownership of the realty, both the probate and appellate courts declared that since a relevant disinheritance statute was inapplicable, full title vested in the husband and, upon his death, descended to his heirs. On appeal, held, reversed. Despite the common law nature of such tenancies, equity will impose on the husband a constructive trust in one-half the property for the benefit of the victim's estate. National City Bank of Evansville v. Bledsoe, (Ind. 1957) …
Dispositions Of Property To Unincorporated Non-Profit Associations, Harold A.J. Ford
Dispositions Of Property To Unincorporated Non-Profit Associations, Harold A.J. Ford
Michigan Law Review
It now becomes necessary to examine the cases in which the disposition could not be treated as one to the existing members. This treatment will disclose that some courts have been prepared to regard some dispositions to associations as being for the purposes of the association. The only way in which property may be devoted to a purpose without conferring beneficial interests on particular individuals is by a trust. Accordingly in many instances the disposition takes effect as a trust.
Is The Rule Against Perpetuities Doomed?, Lewis M. Simes
Is The Rule Against Perpetuities Doomed?, Lewis M. Simes
Michigan Law Review
Few rules of the common law have shown such amazing vitality as the rule against perpetuities. Emerging in the Duke of Norfolk's Case in 1682, as a rule to restrict unbarrable entails in land, it is now applied, not only to interests in land, legal and equitable, but also to personal estate, tangible and intangible, including beneficial interests in trusts. It is regarded as a part of the common law of nearly every English speaking country, except a few of the United States where statutory substitutes have been provided. Since 1930, statutory substitutes have been abolished and there has been …
The Non-General Power Of Appointment -- A Creature Of The Powers Of Appointment Act Of 1951, Allan Mccoid
The Non-General Power Of Appointment -- A Creature Of The Powers Of Appointment Act Of 1951, Allan Mccoid
Vanderbilt Law Review
In the course of the past fifty years, during which estate planning has become a specialty rather than one of many jobs handled by the general practitioner, the power of appointment has become an increasingly popular form of gift. The two great advantages which have been claimed for the power are the introduction of great flexibility into the estate plan and the reduction of the tax burden on the property as it passes from one generation to another. It was presumably with both of these objectives in mind that Professor William J. Bowe made a suggestion last year as to …

Tax Planning For Nontaxable Estates, William J. Bowe
Tax Planning For Nontaxable Estates, William J. Bowe
Vanderbilt Law Review
Owners of modest estates are always greatly relieved to learn of the liberal federal estate tax exemption of $60,000. Freed from the burden of federal estate tax planning they frequently turn their attention to methods of transferring property which will avoid the heavy cost and delay incident to probate administration. Joint ownership, gifts of remainder interests, donee-beneficiary contracts, revocable trusts are among the more common devices available. Use of any one of these plans may accomplish a shift in possession and enjoyment of property upon the death of the planner with no delay and minimum expense.
But the income tax …

Contracts-Rights Of Third Party Beneficiary-Effect Of Michigan Beneficiary Contract Statute, Gordon W. Hueschen S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
On agreement to make mutual wills, Stephen and his two sisters entered into an agreement whereby the sisters agreed to will to Stephen, or in event Stephen predeceased them, to his wife, all property which they should receive from their father. Stephen did predecease the sisters, whereupon they executed new wills with no provision for Stephen's widow. Upon death of the last sister, the widow's bill for specific performance of the agreement was dismissed by the circuit court. In affirming on appeal, the Michigan Supreme Court held that the agreement as to Stephen and all other persons except the sisters …
A Symposium On Estate Planning: Foreword, Mayo Adams Shattuck
A Symposium On Estate Planning: Foreword, Mayo Adams Shattuck
Vanderbilt Law Review
The power and increasing value of conferences and symposia of the sort which the Vanderbilt Law Review has arranged is that a team of first class men are gathered together to give testimony and useful advice upon the various independent factors which must be taken into account in solution of this fascinating problem. When a group of distinguished scholars and practitioners like those participating in this symposium are willing to make thoughtful contributions to this sort-of round table, without hope of compensation except for the satisfaction that comes from the provision of sound ideas and the education that stems from …
Foreword, Mayo A. Shattuck
Foreword, Mayo A. Shattuck
Vanderbilt Law Review
In order to get a proper measure of modern Estate Planning I think it may be useful to consider, very briefly, some aspects of its history. The family trust was born into our jurisprudence in an environment which had been moulded in that solid and immovable pyramid called feudalism. In that social order there was nothing of imaginative elasticity. Lateral allegiances or entanglements were as little known as lateral movements. All lines of authority moved from the top; all discharges of duties were rendered vertically to the liege lord next above. As with human relationships so also with property. The …
A Planner's Primer, William M. Reynolds
A Planner's Primer, William M. Reynolds
Vanderbilt Law Review
Anyone undertaking an assignment to write within a few pages under this comprehensive title must limit his coverage. This general article on a subject as intangible as estate planning omits entirely or gives short treatment to many considerations which may be of great importance to the conscientious planning of relatively complicated estate situations. Emphasis will be placed on the tax aspects of estate planning, particularly federal taxes, but consideration will be given to other aspects which may be of equal or even greater importance. This deliberate emphasis is certainly not intended to add to the misleading impression, too frequently held, …
Valuation Of The Family Controlled Business For Estate Tax Purposes, James O. Wynn
Valuation Of The Family Controlled Business For Estate Tax Purposes, James O. Wynn
Vanderbilt Law Review
The starting point in the determination of the federal estate tax is the valuation of the property included in the gross estate.' While the Internal Revenue Code does not use the term "fair market value" in defining the gross estate, the regulations promulgated by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue as an interpretation of the estate tax provisions of the Code provide that "the value of every item of property includible in the gross estate is the fair market value thereof." While a creditable argument could be made that Congress, in using the term "value" in defining the gross estate, intended …

How Far Will Multi-State Death Taxation Go--Curry V. Mccanless Revisited, Thomas A. Thomas
Vanderbilt Law Review
It is the purpose of this comment to show how the death tax laws today affect the estate of a person who dies in one state leaving tangible or intangible personalty in another state, and also to recall the laws as they existed in the not too remote past and to surmise what they will be tomorrow in the light of recent trends.
