Vacation And Abandonment Of Streets And Highways In Ohio, John L. Grecol Jan 1963

Vacation And Abandonment Of Streets And Highways In Ohio, John L. Grecol

Cleveland State Law Review

Many long established thoroughfares are presently being abandoned and vacated to make way for the erection of urban redevelopment programs and the construction of freeway systems. Similarly, the application of scientific principles of traffic engineering to the modernization of existing thoroughfares eliminates jogged intersections and reduces sharp curves, frequently entailing vacation of the abandoned portions of such relocated roads. Resubdividing undeveloped tracts sometimes necessitates vacation of dedicated but unimproved streets in favor of revised thoroughfare plans. Modern fashion has rendered many alleys and courts obsolete and unnecessary. To avoid the expense of their maintenance both abutting owners and governmental subdivisions …


Security-Chattel Mortgages-Mortgage Recorded Under Federal Aviation Act Of 1958s As Affected By State Laws, William C. Brashares Jan 1963

Security-Chattel Mortgages-Mortgage Recorded Under Federal Aviation Act Of 1958s As Affected By State Laws, William C. Brashares

Michigan Law Review

Defendant, a Michigan corporation, ordered a new airplane from Air-O-Fleet, a retailer. Air-O-Fleet financed its purchase from the manufacturer through a loan from plaintiff, a Texas corporation, who took a chattel mortgage on the airplane. One day after Air-O-Fleet had made delivery to defendant and received full payment, plaintiff recorded the chattel mortgage with the Federal Aviation Authority in accordance with the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, section 1403, which provides that "no conveyance or instrument ... shall be valid ... against any person other than the person by whom the conveyance or other instrument is made or given, ... …


Marketable Title On A Place In Space, D. Orville Lahy Jan 1963

Marketable Title On A Place In Space, D. Orville Lahy

University of Richmond Law Review

Space, it's wonderful! This modification of an oft-repeated cliche is intended in no way to dimnish the significance of mankind's yearning for peace since the beginning of time. It is, however, designed to focus attention on the conquest of space, mankind's twentieth-century contribution to what has come to be known as "progress". Contemporary writers characterize the era in which we live as the "space age" and there is every reason to believe that historians of the future will similarly record the twentieth century as -theepoch of man's mastery not only of transportation in space, but also of his dominion over …

Real Estate Investment Trusts In Washington, Birney N. Dempcy Dec 1962

Real Estate Investment Trusts In Washington, Birney N. Dempcy

Washington Law Review

In 1960 Congress adopted §§ 856-858 of the Internal Revenue Code with the avowed purpose of granting to the small investor in real estate the same federal income tax advantages that are afforded investors in regulated investment companies. However the tax advantages that are granted have not given rise to a general adoption of organizations which qualify for the tax advantages. The major reasons for this lack of interest are the complexity of the sections themselves, problems raised by the regulations (many of which have been rectified by the final regulations which were adopted April 28, 1962), and problems raised …

Annexation By Municipal Corporations, John E. Iverson Sep 1962

Annexation By Municipal Corporations, John E. Iverson

Washington Law Review

Problems caused by the growth of urban fringe areas have increased, particularly since World War II. As the population of these areas increases, so does the need for public services and the attendant need for effective local government. County government in Washington has remained generally unchanged since its inception one hundred years ago. Conceived in contemplation of a rural, lightly populated area requiring only a minimum of services, county government was not designed to deal with urban problems. As a result, the task of providing governmental services has been assumed by existing municipalities, which, in order to gain the requisite …

Real Property—Aboltion Of Rule In Shelley's Case—Testamentary Dispositions, Harold D. Johnson

Washington Law Review

The state of title to an undetermined amount of realty in Washington was put in question by the Washington court's decision in Rubenser v. Felice. That case marked the end, in Washington, of an ancient and troublesome rule of law-the Rule in Shelley's Case—in testamentary dispositions of realty.


Contracts -- 1961 Tennessee Survey (Ii), Paul J. Hartman Jun 1962

Contracts -- 1961 Tennessee Survey (Ii), Paul J. Hartman

Vanderbilt Law Review

Statutes may impose a tax upon the transaction of certain business merely for the purpose of raising revenue, and not with any view of regulating the business itself. Even though such statutes impose a penalty for failure to comply with their provisions, contracts made without paying the requisite tax or obtaining the requisite license generally are not thereby made unenforceable. Of course, the legislature may provide that the failure to comply with a revenue statute will invalidate a bargain. But where, as in the Acuff case, the purpose of the statute is the protection of the public, a bargain made …

Foreword, Harry M. Cross Apr 1962

Foreword, Harry M. Cross

Washington Law Review

The enactment of Initiative 2081 in the 1960 election authorizes creation of joint tenancies in real and personal property in Washington generally. Many of the potential problems which may confront Washington lawyers because of the general availability of the joint tenancy device are discussed in this symposium. An orderly presentation of the arguments and identification of the particulars to be resolved will be fostered by the effort of the Review editors in assembling the material in this issue. I am sure that members of the Washington bar will agree that we owe a substantial debt to the authors. The discussions …


Joint Tenancy And Estate Planning, Charles B. Stacey Apr 1962

Joint Tenancy And Estate Planning, Charles B. Stacey

Washington Law Review

In many states both lawyers and laymen advise taking of title to property in joint tenancy without sufficient knowledge of the legal incidents of this ancient common law estate. Due to the increasing use of this form of ownership, lawyers must learn both the advantages and disadvantages of joint tenancies. Since joint tenancy involves the element of "survivorship," the taking of title to property in this form is usually a conscious act of estate planning. To the knowledgeable estate planner, however, joint tenancies are more often bothersome than useful. The planner is often faced with the problem of eliminating or …


Joint Tenancy—Creditor-Debtor Relations, Kenneth S. Treadwell, Jerome Shulkin Apr 1962

Joint Tenancy—Creditor-Debtor Relations, Kenneth S. Treadwell, Jerome Shulkin

Washington Law Review

By Initiative No. 208, adopted and now codified as RCW 64.28, the former prohibition against joint tenancy with the right of survivorship has been repealed and substituted with ".... a form of co-ownership of property, real and personal, known as joint tenancy."' The proviso that the transfer shall not derogate from the rights of creditors raises serious questions of meaning and interpretation. If the proviso means that the rights of creditors will not be changed by joint tenancy ownership, then this article will serve little purpose. If the proviso is to be applied only to the creditors existing at the …


Joint Tenancy In Real Property—The Title Insurer's Viewpoint, H. E. Tully Apr 1962

Joint Tenancy In Real Property—The Title Insurer's Viewpoint, H. E. Tully

Washington Law Review

Initiative Measure No. 2081 is necessarily brief and does little more than authorize in Washington "a form of co-ownership of property, real and personal, known as joint tenancy." In view of the prior history of joint tenancy with right of survivorship in Washington, so far as real property is concerned, practically the entire existing local law on the subject is provided by the initiative measure. This engrafts a new system of real property ownership onto the existing body of Washington real property law which has been in the process of development for over a century. This article must therefore deal …


Joint Tenancy And Community Property, Yale B. Griffith Apr 1962

Joint Tenancy And Community Property, Yale B. Griffith

Washington Law Review

The public demand in Washington which led to the adoption of the joint tenancy initiative is not surprising in view of the widespread use of this form of title in other states. However, Washington is still a community property state and the people's desire for joint tenancy with its popular survivorship feature does not necessarily indicate their intention to change the community property system. Laymen will commonly use community funds to buy property and will now take title in joint tenancy, fully hoping to have some of the advantages of each. This practice has led to a deluge of litigation …


The Inter Vivos Rights Of Cotenants Inter Se, Dale E. Kremer Apr 1962

The Inter Vivos Rights Of Cotenants Inter Se, Dale E. Kremer

Washington Law Review

The inter vivos rights and remedies among joint tenants with respect to their common property are in general the same as those of other co-owners of property. Differences become most apparent upon the death of one tenant. During the period when all of the joint tenants are alive, they are included in the general group, "cotenants," the term for co-owners of property, and their rights and remedies for the most part fall within the rules governing co-tenants. Some exceptions will be considered here. One difference between the rules governing joint tenants and those governing other co-owners is that while service …


Effect Of Joint Accounts With Right Of Survivorship In Washington, Virginia B. Lyness Apr 1962

Effect Of Joint Accounts With Right Of Survivorship In Washington, Virginia B. Lyness

Washington Law Review

The recent passage in Washington of Initiative No. 208 providing for creation of joint tenancies in real and personal property provides the occasion for a reconsideration of the current status of the statutory and case law in Washington relating to the effect given to "joint tenancy" accounts with right of survivorship. Such an account typically takes the form of a deposit opened in the name of the depositor and another, payable to either or to the survivor. Does such an account, by virtue of present statutes, in fact create a joint tenancy with all its incidents as known to the …

Taxation-Federal Estate Tax-Inference Of Retained Life Interest Under Section 2036(A), Donald E. Vacin Mar 1962

Taxation-Federal Estate Tax-Inference Of Retained Life Interest Under Section 2036(A), Donald E. Vacin

Michigan Law Review

In 1936 decedent established an irrevocable trust naming herself and relatives as beneficiaries. The corporate trustees were directed to pay the trust income, in the exercise of their absolute discretion, either to the settlor or to the other beneficiaries. In filing her 1936 federal gift tax return settlor attempted unsuccessfully to exclude the value of a life estate in the trust income, allegedly retained by her. At her death, the value of the trust corpus was not included in her estate tax return. The Commissioner assessed a deficiency contending that decedent-settlor had retained for her life the "possession or enjoyment" …
