Should The Rule Against Perpetuities Discard Its Vest?, Daniel M. Schuyler Mar 1958

Should The Rule Against Perpetuities Discard Its Vest?, Daniel M. Schuyler

Michigan Law Review

The venerable rule of property known as the rule against perpetuities has recently been subjected to numerous searching and critical analyses, some of which will presently be discussed. Thus far nothing has been published dealing with, and only Professor Simes has touched upon, what seems to the present writer to be the most serious problem engendered by the common law rule in its commonly accepted form, i.e., the notion that the rule is concerned only with remoteness of vesting. It is the purpose of the present discussion to examine the concept of vesting as related to the rule and to …

The Conflict Of Laws: A Comparative Study. Volume Four Property: Bills And Notes: Inheritance: Trusts: Application Of Foreign Law: Lntertemporal Relations, Ernst Rabel Jan 1958

The Conflict Of Laws: A Comparative Study. Volume Four Property: Bills And Notes: Inheritance: Trusts: Application Of Foreign Law: Lntertemporal Relations, Ernst Rabel

Michigan Legal Studies Series

With this fourth and final volume, the monumental survey of existing systems of conflicts law, initiated by the late Ernst Rabel in 1939 under the auspices of the American Law Institute but conducted after 1942 through the generous sponsorship of the University of Michigan Law School, is completed. It is most fortunate that, despite the fact that the present volume was prepared in various institutions during the years immediately preceding the author's death on September 7, 1955, he not only finished but also revised the proofs of the text; the various tables were later compiled at Ann Arbor.

Legislation - Future Interests - Extinguishment Of Contingent Remainder Interests In The Unborn, Edward B. Stulberg Jan 1958

Legislation - Future Interests - Extinguishment Of Contingent Remainder Interests In The Unborn, Edward B. Stulberg

Michigan Law Review

Under the somewhat misleading title of "An Act To Permit the Dissolution of Estates Tail and To Permit the Conveyance of Contingent Remainder Interest and To Provide Procedure Therefor," Arkansas has enacted legislation which partially revitalizes an ancient common law rule that other legislatures and courts have been trying to eliminate for some hundred and fifty years-the doctrine of the destructibility of contingent remainders. Arkansas' Act 163 is thus unique among the modern statutes designed to increase the alienability of estates fettered with outstanding future interests.

Wills - Legacies - Presumption Of Satisfaction Of Debt, Harry D. Krause S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Petitioners, the residuary legatees under their father's will, sought an accounting of dividends from stocks and rents from real property belonging to them but which had been collected by their father during his life and commingled with his own assets. The will did not state that the legacy to petitioners was intended to be in satisfaction of claims against the estate. To review an order of the chancellor requiring them to elect between accepting the legacy or prosecuting their claims against the estate petitioners brought certiorari. Held, certiorari granted, order requiring election quashed, and cause remanded. There is no …
