Foreign Personal Representatives, Banks Mcdowell Jr.
Foreign Personal Representatives, Banks Mcdowell Jr.
Michigan Legal Studies Series
In dealing with the legal rules affecting foreign personal representatives, the author of the present monograph is to be commended for the lucid analysis in the following pages of the principal questions that an executor or administrator appointed in one state will encounter in the administration of a single estate on a multi-jurisdictional basis: his right to sue and liability to suit in other states, the effects of his extra-legal action outside the state of his appointment, and the possibilities of reforming existing laws so as to make feasible a system of single administration of decedents' estates. This analysis is …

Wills Can Be Made Unbreakable, Ellis V. Rippner
Wills Can Be Made Unbreakable, Ellis V. Rippner
Cleveland State Law Review
So many will contest cases have been filed in the courts in recent years that it almost seems that whenever a will provides for distribution other than in the manner in which the property would descend in the event of intestacy, the probability of a will contest is present. This article will suggest methods by which a client can be given added assurance that his desires will be fulfilled. There are two aspects to consider: first, those methods which we can employ prior to the death of the testator; and second, the precautions we should use in preparing the will.

Adopted Child's Right Of Inheritance From The Natural Parents, John R. Murphy Jr.
Adopted Child's Right Of Inheritance From The Natural Parents, John R. Murphy Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
Ohio's adoption statutes have always been under the close scrutiny of the courts, the legislatures and society. Their main purpose is to promote the welfare of adopted children, as well as to protect them. However, in their zeal to create a close relationship between the child and the adopting parent, the legislatures of several states, including Ohio, have attempted to sever the connection of blood relationship, in favor of the adopting parents. In the process they sometimes have cut off the right of inheritance between the child and the natural parent. A review of several recent cases indicates that this …

Wills - Construction - Conditional Wills, Richard Rosenthal
Michigan Law Review
Testator executed a holographic will immediately prior to departing on an intended journey abroad. The will, making a friend and creditor his sole beneficiary, provided, "This is my will if I should die on this my trip to India You are my sol heiress." Although the trip was postponed, it was never abandoned. Testator subsequently repaid a substantial part of his debt to the beneficiary. Soon thereafter, testator died without having made the journey. His will was contested by his widow and brother. On remand to the surrogate's court from the court of appeals, held, the will is conditional …

Wills - Execution - Attestation, Max H. Bergman
Michigan Law Review
Prospective witnesses to a will saw the testatrix standing in an adjoining room engaged in writing. Soon thereafter, the testatrix asked them to come in and sign a paper. Her name had already been written on the document, and she neither signed it in the witnesses' presence nor in any manner indicated the writing to be her will. The witnesses read enough of the document, however, to know it was a will, before subscribing it in the presence of the testatrix and one another. Three of the testatrix' sons objected to the probate of the will on the ground that …
