In Re Whittier's Estate, John W. Richards
In Re Whittier's Estate, John W. Richards
Washington Law Review
It is related of Daniel Webster that while engaged in argument before the Supreme Court of the United States he was interrupted by the Chief Justice with the comment: "That, Mr. Webster, is not the law." And Daniel Webster replied, in the grand tradition of advocacy which seems to have passed from among us: "It was, sir, until your honor spoke." That observation seems particularly apropos to In re Whittier's Estate, which represents either a startling innovation in the normally placid field of Wills, or an unhappy contretemps from which one turns with embarrassment and the hope that everyone concerned …
Recent Developments Under The Dead Man Statute, Douglas A. Wilson
Recent Developments Under The Dead Man Statute, Douglas A. Wilson
Washington Law Review
The "Dead Man Statutes" of the several states, which exclude testimony by interested parties in certain cases, stand in the unique position of being condemned by all the modern writers on the law of evidence. Yet this exception to the abrogation of the common law rule against testimony by interested parties still survives in the majority of the states, and furthermore, the courts are generally agreed that the statutes are to be strictly construed. However, in the application to a particular set of facts, such as whether the interested survivor may deny that a transaction took place, or whether the …
A Practitioner's Guide To Estate Planning In Washington [Part 1], Charles Horowitz
A Practitioner's Guide To Estate Planning In Washington [Part 1], Charles Horowitz
Washington Law Review
Estate planning in the broad sense is an individual's planning for the acquisition, conservation, use and distribution of his property. In the more restricted sense of the phrase with which we are here concerned, estate planning is an individual's planning for the most beneficial transfer and transmission of property to estate beneficiaries integrated with planning against unnecessary estate shrinkage. Such planning involves provision for efficient and prudent management, provision for estate liquidity sufficient to prevent unneccessary sacrifice of estate assets, provision for minimizing the costs of administration and management, and provision for minimizing income, gift, inheritance and estate taxation.

Injury By Accidental Means And The Effect Of Disease In Accident Insurance Policies, Jennings P. Felix
Injury By Accidental Means And The Effect Of Disease In Accident Insurance Policies, Jennings P. Felix
Washington Law Review
A troublesome problem in the field of accident insurance is the interpretation of the phrase "by accidental means" and the effect of pre-existing disease upon a case involving this interpretation. The decisions vary, not only from state to state but often within the same jurisdiction. This confused state' of case law results from the innumerable variety of fact patterns considered; and is due, in part, to the well-recognized sympathy of jurors toward widows and orphans who comprise the largest class of beneficiaries. The cases exemplify two main views, each supported by considerable authority.
The Case Of Decasto Earl Mayer And Mary Ellen Smith, Hayden H. Hilling
The Case Of Decasto Earl Mayer And Mary Ellen Smith, Hayden H. Hilling
Washington Law Review
On September 5, 1928, James Eugene Bassett left his sister's home at Bremerton, Washington, with the intention of returning that evening, but was never seen again. Bassett's disappearance aroused nationwide interest and he was made the object of a most intensive but unavailing search. The unanswered question remains: Could a legally sufficient case be made against any defendant for the murder of Bassett, assuming overwhelming evidence of the defendant's connection with whatever catastrophe may have befallen him, but almost no independent evidence that he was dead and not merely missing? Due to an unfortunate chain of events, the question was …
The Vendor-Purchaser Relationship In Washington, Stuart G. Oles
The Vendor-Purchaser Relationship In Washington, Stuart G. Oles
Washington Law Review
The persistence with which our court clings to the unfortunate language of the leading case of Ashford v. Reese has given rise to considerable confusion in the local practice. This comment is written with the hope that it may aid in dispelling that confusion. The overwhelming weight of authority in this country has been to the effect that the vendee under an executory contract to purchase land is the equitable owner. The early cases in this jurisdiction adhered closely to the prevailing view, which in essence simply states the eminently practical attitude that such a vendee has certain equities in …
The 1943 Washington Arbitration Act, John C. Braman
The 1943 Washington Arbitration Act, John C. Braman
Washington Law Review
Changes in the arbitration laws of the State of Washington effected by the 1943 Act, can be expected to increase the effectiveness of written arbitration agreements as a means of settling controversies. The new act is patterned after the old Washington act of 1881, which was repealed in toto, but its scope is larger and it is more specific in providing legal machinery for the conduct of arbitration.
Cooperative Corporation Law On The Marketing Transaction, A. Ladru Jensen
Cooperative Corporation Law On The Marketing Transaction, A. Ladru Jensen
Washington Law Review
In our generation American agricultural leaders have pioneered a new system of marketing. They have developed and expanded a new type of business unit: an association of producers acting by and through a non-profit corporation agent which they create and control. In our day the lawyers, admmistrators, judges and legislators are engaged in clarifying the legal concepts involved in the personal, corporate and propity relations which a pioneering generation of agricultural cooperators have created by their new commercial practice called cooperative marketing.

Administration Of Partnership Estates In Washington: Probate Code V Uniform Partnership Act, John Mcsherry, Jr.
Administration Of Partnership Estates In Washington: Probate Code V Uniform Partnership Act, John Mcsherry, Jr.
Washington Law Review
Were a contest to arise today in Washington between a surviving partner and the administrator or executor of his deceased partner's estate, as, to which has the right to administer the partnership estate (assuming the surviving partner has not complied with the requirements of the Probate Code), each contestant could invoke statutes which apparently support his claim and exclude the other's. The administrator would turn to the Probate Code; the surviving partner, to the Uniform Partnership Act. Our court would then be faced with the task of deciding which should control.
The Attractive Nuisance Doctrine In Washington, L. R. Bonneville, Jr.
The Attractive Nuisance Doctrine In Washington, L. R. Bonneville, Jr.
Washington Law Review
It is here proposed to examine the cases in Washington wherein "attractive nuisance" has been discussed, for the purpose of determining the scope of the doctrine as it has been accepted in this state, and to point out the types of situations in which an unsuccessful attempt has been made to apply this rule, for the appellate court in this state has dealt with the doctrine primarily in a negative manner, i.e. has denied its applicability to most of the factual, situations in cases where the issue has been raised on appeal, which in itself illustrates that the bar of …
