Torts - Negligent Misrepresentations - Information Gratuitously Supplied, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiffs, who were liquidating trustees of a building and loan association, alleged that the association requested defendant to send it a copy of a certain will, but that defendant, who was trustee under the will, sent the association a copy of another will. 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 …

Trusts-Interest Required To Support Suit For Protection Of Res
Michigan Law Review
The deceased had established a trust making the trust company and one Percy S. Peck co-trustees, and Peck was also made one of several beneficiaries. The will provided that Peck should have a general power of appointment by will over the corpus of the estate, and that in default of the exercise of such power, it should go to his issue if living. The plaintiffs are the issue of Peck, who is still alive. The trustees made certain investments which the plaintiffs claim injure the corpus of the trust, for which they ask that the transactions be declared illegal and …

Taxation - Power Of Appointment - Effect Of Refusal By Appointee Who Is Given Same Share In Default Of Appointment
Michigan Law Review
The donee of a power of appointment exercised it by will in favor of the persons who would have taken exactly the same interests in default of appointment, and who declared their election to decline the appointment and take by the provision in default of appointment in the will of the donor. Suit was brought for additional federal estate taxes covering the property to which the power applied, under a statute levying such a tax upon "any property passing under a general power of appointment exercised by the decedent . . . by will . . . . " Held …

Certain Evasive And Protective Devices Affecting Succession To Decedents' Estates, Alvin Evans
Certain Evasive And Protective Devices Affecting Succession To Decedents' Estates, Alvin Evans
Michigan Law Review
In Anglo-American law for many generations the power of an owner of property to determine the disposal of his estate at death has met with but comparatively few limitations. The statute creating this power was motivated by the assumption that the interest of the owner, reaching even beyond death, is paramount to other social interests. This power is an important item in a capitalistic system. And even if he does not exercise his power, the decedent may rest assured that another statute will do for him approximately what he may be supposed to have desired.

Future Interests -Testamentary Trust -Admissibility Of Evidence Of Barrenness Of Devisee
Michigan Law Review
A testator's will devised his residuary estate in trust to his daughter for life, remainder to her lawful issue, in default of which the corpus was to be distributed to certain charities. The daughter died without issue. After her death the trustee brought suit against the United States for refund of taxes paid, both parties agreeing that the sole question for determination was the admissibility of evidence of the removal of the daughter's generative organs to prove that at the time of the testator's death it was impossible for her to bear issue. Held, such evidence was admissible. Provident …

Trusts-Stock Dividends-Apportionment Between Life Estate And Corpus
Trusts-Stock Dividends-Apportionment Between Life Estate And Corpus
Michigan Law Review
The will of the testator gave his widow a life estate in all his property. The estate contained, inter alia, shares of the capital stock of a corporation. After several years the corporation was dissolved, and a "dissolution dividend" was declared which distributed to each stockholder a pro rata share of the proceeds of the sale of all the assets of the corporation. The question in the case was whether any, and if so, how much, of this dividend was to go to the life tenant. It was shown that the earnings of the corporation had been paid out regularly …
Perpetuities-Exercise Of General Testamentary Power Of Appointment Creating Perpetuity-Effect On Prior Gift Of Failure Of Gift Over
Michigan Law Review
A, by a will which created a trust of realty and personalty, gave B a life interest with a general power to appoint by will. B exercised this power in her will, appointing to her children for life with other remainders to B's grandchildren. Held, remainder to the grandchildren is void for remoteness, since the period allowed by the rule against perpetuities is calculated as though B's appointment were incorporated in A's will. Interests of B's children are uneffected by the failure of the gift to the grandchildren. Equitable Trust Co. v. Snader (Del. Ch. 1930) 151 Atl. 712.
The Rule In Lemayne V. Stanley, Philip Mechem
The Rule In Lemayne V. Stanley, Philip Mechem
Michigan Law Review
In the leading case of Lemayne v. Stanley the testator's will, written by his own hand, began: "In the name of God, Amen, I John Stanley make this my last will and testament * * *" and was otherwise unsigned. The court of common pleas held the will duly signed, "for being written by himself, and his name in the will, it is a sufficient signing within the statute which does not appoint where the will shall be signed, in the top, bottom or margin, and therefore a signing in any part is sufficient."
