Testamentary Disposition To The Trustee Of An Inter Vivos Trust, George E. Palmer
Testamentary Disposition To The Trustee Of An Inter Vivos Trust, George E. Palmer
Michigan Law Review
The problem of this paper is narrow but important in connection with testamentary dispositions. A man establishes an inter vivos trust, in writing, and later attempts by will to add to the corpus of the trust without repeating in the will the terms of the trust. In some instances he thereafter amends the trust with the expectation that the property bequeathed to the trustee will be held in accordance with the amended terms. This is a simple and convenient method of disposing of property at death and most people probably would take for granted that the disposition is effective. Yet …
Specific Performance-Oral Promise To Devise In Consideration Of Personal Services, C. J. Rice
Specific Performance-Oral Promise To Devise In Consideration Of Personal Services, C. J. Rice
Michigan Law Review
Decedent orally agreed that if plaintiff would render services as housekeeper, practical muse and general business associate, he would devise and bequeath one-half of his estate to her. Decedent died without having made a will, and plaintiff sought specific performance of the agreement. Held, performance of these services did not take the oral contract out of the operation of the statute of frauds because the services were capable of measurement in money, and recovery on a quantum meriut basis was adequate. Snyder v. Warde, 151 Ohio St. 426, 86 N.E. (2d) 489 (1949).
Future Interests-Construction Of "Surviving" In Substitutionary Gift Of Remainder, J. R. Mackenzie S.Ed.
Future Interests-Construction Of "Surviving" In Substitutionary Gift Of Remainder, J. R. Mackenzie S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Testator's will provided that his property should go to his wife W for life, then in equal shares to his sister A and his brothers B and C. The language used was appropriate to create vested remainders in A, B and C. The will then provided, "And in case of the death of my said sister or either of my said brothers before the death of my said wife, the share that he or she would have taken shall be divided equally between his or her surviving children, by right of representation." A and B died before testator; …
Partnership -- Uniform Partnership Act--Right Of Surviving Partner To Purchase Partnership Property, Melvin J. Spencer
Partnership -- Uniform Partnership Act--Right Of Surviving Partner To Purchase Partnership Property, Melvin J. Spencer
Michigan Law Review
Defendants, administrators of the estate of the deceased partner, agreed with the surviving partner to continue the partnership hotel business, with the approval of the probate court. After some operation, the surviving partner sued to compel the administrators to sell him the interest of the deceased at a value to be judicially determined. Defendants cross-complained, asking the court to liquidate the business and award them the amount of the interest of the deceased in the proceeds. Held, reversing the decree below, the assets of the dissolved partnership should be liquidated, in accord with defendants' prayer. Zach v. Schulman, …

Fiduciary Administration -- Deviation From Terms Of Trust--Invasion Of Principal For Benefit Of Life Tenant, W. Stirling Maxwell S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
By a will executed in 1932 testator, who died in 1944, made outright bequests of $2,500 and his personal goods to his widow and $5,000 to each of his sons. He then devised the residue of his estate to trustees to pay the income to his widow for life and, upon her death, to distribute the corpus to his then living issue in equal shares by right of representation, and, in default of such issue, to those who would take if he had died intestate when his widow died. The will gave the trustees broad investment and management powers but …
Powers-General Testamentary Power:-Ineffective Appointment- Devolution Of Appointive Property, Richard L. Eckhart S.Ed.
Powers-General Testamentary Power:-Ineffective Appointment- Devolution Of Appointive Property, Richard L. Eckhart S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
In the usual case, the question of the devolution of property subject to a general testamentary power where the appointment is ineffective arises in a contest between those representing the estate of the donee on the one hand and those representing the estate of the donor, including the takers in default, on the other. The historical concept that the devolution of appointive property is from the donor to the appointee competes with the modern concept that the donee's interest in the property is, for many purposes, close to absolute ownership.
