Professor Kales And Common Law Remainders, Joseph W. Bingham
Professor Kales And Common Law Remainders, Joseph W. Bingham
Michigan Law Review
In an article in Vol. 22 of the Law Quarterly Review, Professor Albert M. Kales presents a reclassification of future interests in land, the salient feature of which is an attempt to overthrow the conventional conception of a contingent remainder as a future estate given, not presently, but on condition precedent, and to substitute an entirely new conception of his own. This effort, by its boldness and novelty commands something more than a mere passing mention. It is my purpose, first to present as briefly as is consistent with clearness what I conceive to be the common law theory of …

An Inroad Upon Fiduciary Integrity, Edson R. Sunderland

It is a principle universally recognized throughout our system of law, that no person shall be permitted to occupy a position of trust and confidence who at the same time is clearly subject to influences hostile to a faithful performance of his trust. There is a rule as old as Christianity, and it has been incorporated into our law from the earliest times, that "no man shall serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other." Fiduciary relations can rest upon no foundation but …

The CY-Pres Doctrine.-The court of chancery of New Jersey in the recent case of Brow et al. v. Condit et al. (Sept. 30, 1905), 61 Atl. Rep. 1055, refused to apply this doctrine under the following circumstances: The will of one Susan M. Corson, bearing date July 7, 1897, disposed of her residuary estate "to the Hospital Fund for Sick Seamen at Navy Yard, Brooklyn, New York, care of Mr. John M. Wood, chaplain."

The Scope Of Texas Probate Jurisdiction Over Matters Incident And Appertaining To An Estate., Paula C. Tredeau
The Scope Of Texas Probate Jurisdiction Over Matters Incident And Appertaining To An Estate., Paula C. Tredeau
St. Mary's Law Journal
Providing for probate court jurisdiction to accommodate all types of probate issues would lead to a more efficient probate system in terms of cost, time, and judicial economy. However, the constitutional and statutory constraints establish serious limits on probate jurisdiction. The 1973 legislature adopted a major revision to section 5 of the Probate Code to simplify and clarify probate jurisdiction by reorganizing the probate court system. In the four subsequent revisions to section 5 of the Probate Code, the issue of whether to distinguish the phrases “appertaining to an estate” and “incident to an estate” arose. These subsequent amendments continued …
