Restricted Testation In New Zealand, Australia And Canada, Joseph Dainow
Restricted Testation In New Zealand, Australia And Canada, Joseph Dainow
Michigan Law Review
One of the long accepted differences between the common law and the civil law has been the freedom of testamentary disposition of the former as contrasted with the limitations of the latter. Thus, while the continental testator was limited in the amount of property that he could leave away from the members of his immediate family, the Englishman could cut them all off without a penny. In other common-law countries the same liberty was continued; but recent years have witnessed important departures.
Conditional Wills, Alvin E. Evans
Conditional Wills, Alvin E. Evans
Michigan Law Review
The discovery of what the language of a testator means is a constant duty of the courts. The task in the case of wills conditional in form frequently is to inquire whether the conditional language is merely formal and used by way of inducement or is intended to be taken literally. Clear cut and uniformly dependable tests as guides to such inquiry do not exist.

The Primitive Character And Origin Of The Bonorum Possessio, George M. Bush
The Primitive Character And Origin Of The Bonorum Possessio, George M. Bush
Michigan Law Review
The Bonorum Possessio, or Praetorian inheritance or succession, is one of the most important, complicated and difficult sections in the study of the Private law of Rome. This subject is not well known to students of Roman law, although so far it has been the object of much research on the part of many German and a few French, scholars.

Acquisition Of Foreign Domicil And The Doctrine Of Renvoi
Michigan Law Review
A recent English decision has virtually overruled the leading case of In re Johnson, and revived interest in problems raised by application of the much discussed doctrine of renvoi.
The Law Of Property Act, 1922, Joseph Warren
The Law Of Property Act, 1922, Joseph Warren
Michigan Law Review
The English law of property legislation, which has been pending for over two years, was passed June 29 last. It will take effect January 1, 1925. For a century the reform of the law of real property has been a burning question in England-far more so than with us. Judges, lawyers, solicitors, conveyancing experts have all taken an active part. Learned societies have spoken through committees and royal commissions have reported. Piece by piece many of the antiquities have been abolished. But no reform is as far-reaching as the present act. In January, 1919, the Acquisition and Valuation of Land …
Contingent Gifts And Incorporation By Reference, John R. Rood
Contingent Gifts And Incorporation By Reference, John R. Rood
Articles
The courts have had great difficulty in reconciling certain contingent gifts with the statutes requiring wills to be in writing duly executed. At first glance there appears no inconsistency, but in practice troubles accumulate.
The Statute Of Uses And Active Trusts, Edgar N. Durfee
The Statute Of Uses And Active Trusts, Edgar N. Durfee
Articles
To explain the survival of uses, alias trusts, after the Statute of Uses, one is probably justified in assuming a sympathetic attitude toward this Equitable institution on the part of the Common Law Judges. Maitland, Equity, 29. But, however predisposed the Judges might be, they would have to satisfy themselves, perhaps others as well, that they were interpreting rather than nullifying the Statute. Only such uses could be saved as could be "distinguished." The case of the use raised upon a chattel interest is clear enough, as it was without the letter, and fairly without the mischief, of the Statute. …
