Michigan Law Review

Since the testators bore the same name, the association did not realize the error, but relied on the copy and suffered a loss which it would not have suffered if it had known the true state of facts. Plaintiffs sued to recover the loss. Held, plaintiffs have not stated a cause of action, inasmuch as they …

Michigan Law Review

Held, that the court had power to exclude the objectionable matter from probate, since it was not properly a part of the will. In re Draske's Will, 290 N. Y. S. 581 (Surr. Ct. 1936).

Torts - Right Of Prospective Legatee Against Person Preventing Execution Of Will, Emma Rae Mann
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff's sister had prepared a will which she desired to have witnessed, by the terms of which will the plaintiff would have received a share of her sister's estate.

The plaintiff sued for damages in the amount of the proposed legacy, but the court held that the petition stated no cause of action inasmuch as there was no showing that the defendant had invaded any property right of the plaintiff.

Trusts-Liability Of Trust Estate For Torts Of Trustee
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, an employee of a laundry of which the legal title was held in trust, was injured by an unguarded machine. The trustee was sued in tort in his representative capacity. There was no evidence as to whether the trustee himself or some agent was directly responsible for the condition of the premises. Held, the judgment of the lower court, directing that the plaintiff be paid out of the assets of the trust estate, was correct. Where the trustee is charged with the duty of carrying on a business the trust estate may be held liable for the negligence …
