Life Tenant And Remainderman-Income From Corporate Shares In Trust-Extraordinary Cash Or Stock Dividends
Michigan Law Review
A testator devises a block of corporate shares in trust,--the income to go to a life tenant for life, remainder to another as remainderman. So long as dividends are paid regularly, and in cash, distribution is a simple matter for the trustee. Dividends declared after the testator's death and before the death of the life tenant, are income and go to the life tenant; the rule operates regardless of when the profits which justify the declared dividends were earned. A real problem arises, however, when the corporation allows a surplus to accumulate for some time and then declares an extraordinary …
The Influence Of Control In The Determination Of Partnership Liability, Scott Rowley
The Influence Of Control In The Determination Of Partnership Liability, Scott Rowley
Michigan Law Review
The influence of control in the determination of partnership liability raises many interesting questions. Particularly within the past decade or slightly more it has been considered by the courts, at times with considerable vigor and with little logic or historical background. A perusal of the texts on partnership discloses very little mention of control as a test of partnership. As a rule it has not earned a place in the indices. The digests are almost equally devoid of place for it. In the few older cases where it is considered at all, it is quite often treated as a poor …

Operative Facts In Surrenders - Part 1, Merrill I. Schnebly
Operative Facts In Surrenders - Part 1, Merrill I. Schnebly
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
A discussion of surrenders is likely to begin with the oft repeated definition of Lord Coke:" 'SURRENDER' sursum redditio, properly is a yeelding up of an estate for life or yeares to him that hath an immediate estate in reversion or remainder, wherein the estate for life or yeares may drowne by mutuall agreement betweene them."' In the passages which follow Coke classifies surrenders in two different ways: first, into surrenders "in deed, or by express words", and surrenders "in law"; secondly, into surrenders "by deed" and surrenders "without deed". There is an obvious shift in the meaning of the …
When Revocable Trusts Are Subject To An Inheritance Tax, Edward M. Stimson
When Revocable Trusts Are Subject To An Inheritance Tax, Edward M. Stimson
Michigan Law Review
A settlor transferred property to trustees upon trust to pay the income to himself during life and after his death to his children and, ultimately, to divide the principal. The settlor reserved a power to revoke the trust and also to change its terms. Subsequently a law was passed taxing successions, i.e., all transfers by will or inter vivos, "made or intended to take effect in possession or enjoyment after the death of the grantor or donor."

Taxation-Jurisdiction To Levy An Inheritance Tax
Taxation-Jurisdiction To Levy An Inheritance Tax
Michigan Law Review
A Massachusetts decedent by will created a trust in stocks and bonds. By the terms of the trust the trustee was to pay the income to the settlor's daughter during her life and upon her death was to pay the corpus to such persons as she should by will appoint. She died domiciled in North Carolina leaving a will appointing her husband and son to receive the property. North Carolina imposed an inheritance tax under a statute making the exercise of the power of appointment subject to the tax in the same manner as though the property belonged absolutely to …

The Primitive Character And Origin Of The Bonorum Possessio, George M. Bush
Michigan Law Review
The Bonorum Possessio, or Praetorian inheritance or succession, is one of the most important, complicated and difficult sections in the study of the Private law of Rome. This subject is not well known to students of Roman law, although so far it has been the object of much research on the part of many German and a few French, scholars.

Inheritance By A Murderer From His Victim, H. C. Force
Inheritance By A Murderer From His Victim, H. C. Force
Washington Law Review
The question whether a murderer can inherit from his victim, except in the case of life insurance, is usually answered in the affirmative. The rule is well settled that if the beneficiary under a life insurance policy murders the insured, neither he nor his heirs or representatives can collect the policy. But in cases where a devisee or heir has murdered his testator or ancester, the courts are divided, the majority holding that however undesirable it may be for a murderer to profit by his crime, nevertheless the statutes of wills or of descent are too clear, that the courts …
Trusts-Trust Estates As Bona Fide Purchasers
Trusts-Trust Estates As Bona Fide Purchasers
Michigan Law Review
The doctrine of bona fide purchase is of ancient origin. It has had many significances and interpretations attached to it. At one time it was explained entirely by the special nature of equity and equitable remedies. Maitland used it to show that equities were rights in personam. That the doctrine is no gauge for the quality of the prior estate was shown by Dean Pound, since legal titles may also be cut off. The doctrine has been criticized as anomalous. Two other writers have taken rather different views of the rule. Mr. J. E. Hogg suggests that the bona …
