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and now codified as RCW 64.28, the former prohibition against joint tenancy with the right of survivorship has been repealed and substituted with "....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 …

Revenue Procedure 60-18—New Techniques For The Early Consideration And Disposition Of Tax Court Cases, Melvin L. Sears Nov 1961

Revenue Procedure 60-18—New Techniques For The Early Consideration And Disposition Of Tax Court Cases, Melvin L. Sears

Washington Law Review

With the promulgation of Revenue Procedure 60-18 (published in IRB No. 1960-37, p. 61), the Internal Revenue Service has again instituted a procedure for the benefit of the taxpayers, the tax Bar, the Tax Court and the Service. The effective operation of this new procedure undoubtedly will prove to be of substantial benefit to all parties concerned by securing a fair and expeditious disposition, either by settlement or trial, of tax controversies before the Tax Court.


Instructing A Jury In Washington, Lloyd L. Wiehl Nov 1961

Instructing A Jury In Washington, Lloyd L. Wiehl

Washington Law Review

One of the most burdensome, time-consuming and vexing aspects of a jury trial is the preparation of jury instructions. Several matters in the area of instructions are particularly troublesome in Washington, and the purpose of this article is to analyze some of them, point out certain pitfalls, and make certain suggestions, with emphasis on simplification and standardization.


The End Of An Experiment In Federalism—A Note On Mapp V. Ohio, Arval Morris Nov 1961

The End Of An Experiment In Federalism—A Note On Mapp V. Ohio, Arval Morris

Washington Law Review

When one views the full panoply of constitutional rights from the perspective of total United States Supreme Court history, he soon becomes aware that relatively few cases have directed that Court's attention to the constitutional immunity from unreasonable searches and seizures. However, the right expressed by the fourth amendment is obviously one of the most fundamental' for it gives legal protection to the "right of a man to privacy in his home, a right which is one of the indispensable ultimate essentials of our concept of civilization." Since this right is "basic to a free society"' and "implicit in the …


Debtors' Exemption Statutes—Revision Ideas, Marjorie Dick Rombauer Nov 1961

Debtors' Exemption Statutes—Revision Ideas, Marjorie Dick Rombauer

Washington Law Review

This article delineates the purposes which exemption laws should serve and surveys ways in which a comprehensive revision of the Washington statutes can more equitably (both as to debtors and creditors) effectuate these purposes. The discussion is far from exhaustive of the many provisions which might be considered in a revision of the debtor exemption area. It is intended only as a starting point for the thinking of attorneys.


The Washington Law Of Arrest Without Warrant—Incidental Search, Robert D. Duggan Nov 1961

The Washington Law Of Arrest Without Warrant—Incidental Search, Robert D. Duggan

Washington Law Review

The scope of this comment is limited to considerations of the substantive law of arrest without a warrant and the permissible scope of searches and seizures incidental thereto. The discussion of substantive requirements for arrest without warrant and its incidental search will be confined to present Washington case law as measured against the federal constitutional and common law backgrounds.


Washington Justice Court System—Constitutionality Of The Fee System Of Compensating Justices Of The Peace, Forest W. Walls Nov 1961

Washington Justice Court System—Constitutionality Of The Fee System Of Compensating Justices Of The Peace, Forest W. Walls

Washington Law Review

In the case of In re Borchert the Washington Supreme Court decided that a person tried before an unsalaried justice of the peace on a criminal charge was not deprived of due process of law because the justice was compensated on a fee basis.


Washington Consumer Protection Act—Enforcement Provisions And Policies, John J. O'Connell Sep 1961

Washington Consumer Protection Act—Enforcement Provisions And Policies, John J. O'Connell

Washington Law Review

With the enactment of the Washington Consumer Protection Act, the Washington attorney will be meeting for the first time a comprehensive "antitrust" act designed to operate on the local or "intra-state" level. Because this act is, for the most part, unprecedented in this state, and because it involves, in addition to most of the complexities of federal antitrust law, a few novel features of its own, some sort of introduction to its provisions might be helpful to members of the Washington bar. There appears elsewhere in this issue an examination of the substantive provisions of this new law; my observations …


Washington Legislation—1961; Antitrust: The Washington Antitrust Laws, Julian C. Dewell, Wayne Gittinger Sep 1961

Washington Legislation—1961; Antitrust: The Washington Antitrust Laws, Julian C. Dewell, Wayne Gittinger

Washington Law Review

The following articles, the work of the faculty of the School of Law, the Attorney General, two members of the Washington Bar and a student, constitute the first academic comment on the laws of 1961. For obvious reasons, these articles are not represented to the reader as a complete survey of the legislative session. Rather, they are a compilation of comments on acts which the writers have found to be important, timely, or merely interesting. The Antitrust section considers the Consumer Protection Act of 1961 and its impact on Washington antitrust law.

Torts: Abolition Of Sovereign Immunity In Washington, John W. Richards Sep 1961

Torts: Abolition Of Sovereign Immunity In Washington, John W. Richards

Washington Law Review

The legislature has apparently abolished the operation of the ancient doctrine of sovereign immunity in Washington with a recently enacted statute. This abolition may be partial, however, and its full effect cannot be predicted with certainty. Much of this uncertainty is caused by the history of sovereign immunity, both in the State of Washington and elsewhere.
