Early Washington Marital Property Statutes, Cyril Hill
Early Washington Marital Property Statutes, Cyril Hill
Washington Law Review
Twenty years prior to statehood, the legislature of the Territory of Washington adopted the Community Property System. For nearly seventy years the courts have struggled with its provisions. Although the original act was copied largely from a statute adopted in California in 1850, such changes have been made, that the system in Washington may be regarded as unique. The adoption of the system in its present form was not accomplished by one stroke of the pen. Rather, it has had a checkered career. The original statute passed in 1869 was followed by a marital partnership property act approved November 29, …

Life Insurance Proceeds As Community Property, Russell V. Hokanson
Life Insurance Proceeds As Community Property, Russell V. Hokanson
Washington Law Review
The past year has witnessed the closing by judicial decision of two important gaps in the Washington community property law, both relating to life insurance proceeds. The first case in point of time, Occidental Life Insurance Company v. Powers, announced the rule that where the husband changes the beneficiary of a life insurance policy which is the property of the community because issued on the life of the husband during marriage and paid for with community funds, without the consent or knowledge of the wife, the former beneficiary, the attempted gift by the husband is ineffective and the wife may …
An Evaluation Of Washington Marriage Laws, Richard T. Young
An Evaluation Of Washington Marriage Laws, Richard T. Young
Washington Law Review
Today the attitude of the public, as well as that of most lawmaking bodies, is still one of laissez faire towards this question of marriage laws. It is only when we realize that the problem is inherently involved with that of divorce, juvenile delinquency, pauperism and public health that the need for more scientific marriage legislation is made apparent. The appalling rate at which divorce and crime have increased in the United States in the last few years discloses serious deficiencies in those laws under which the family originates.

Progress Of The Law In Washington Community Property, Frederick G. Hamley
Progress Of The Law In Washington Community Property, Frederick G. Hamley
Washington Law Review
the ten year period of 1922-32 over one hundred cases involving the law of community property were decided by the Supreme Court of Washington. Many of the cases merely reaffirm well established principles of the law and constructions of the statutes, and the importance of these cases is largely negative. Other cases in which established principles are either extended in application, modified, or rejected, are of positive significance as landmarks in the development and growth of the law It is the purpose of this article (1) to picture that development, and (2) to append to the decisions such comment as …
Status Of The Proceeds Of Life Insurance Under The Community Property System, Fred W. Catlett
Status Of The Proceeds Of Life Insurance Under The Community Property System, Fred W. Catlett
Washington Law Review
The vast and increasing amount of money invested in policies of life insurance in the states having a community property system makes the status of the proceeds of such policies under that system of very general interest, and renders it highly desirable and important that the laws as to such contracts should be worked out with dispatch, definiteness and certainty The fact that there are in the community property states different theories as to the character and extent of the wife's interest and different statutes affecting the determination of the rights of the spouses has led to somewhat varying results. …
Liability Of The Entire Community Estate For The Payment Of State Inheritance Tax Where Husband Undertakes To Dispose Of Entire Community Estate By Will And Wife Elects To Take Under The Will, Judson F. Falknor
Washington Law Review
The question suggested by this topic has not been passed upon by the Supreme Court of this state and has already proven troublesome in a good many pending estates. In this paper, the problem will be discussed from the standpoint of the local inheritance tax and community property statutes, without any especial attention to the similar question which arises under the federal estate tax laws. However, while the state tax and the Federal tax are undoubtedly fundamentally different in their nature, it is thought that the solution of the problem as to the state tax will likewise solve it as …
Incompatibility Of Parties As Ground For Divorce, E. B. Herald
Incompatibility Of Parties As Ground For Divorce, E. B. Herald
Washington Law Review
This brief note is concerned with two recent decisions in the State of Washington touching the law of divorce, Shaw v. Shaw, decided August 22, 1928, by Department One, and Haller v. Haller, decided October 8, 1928, by Department Two. The facts of both cases turn upon incompatibility or the inability of the parties to live together. In the Shaw case the court holds that since the enactment of the Session Laws of 1921, p. 331, this is no longer ground for divorce in this state. In the Haller case the other department of the court apparently holds that it …

Time Of Entry Of Interlocutory Decree Of Divorce As Affecting Date Of Final Decree, F. C. Hackman
Washington Law Review
The neglect of parties to divorce suits to file the interlocutory decree in their respective suit on the day of rendition or promptly, and, in order to remedy such omission, the procuring at some subsequent time of the entry of the interlocutory decree nue pro tune as of the date of rendition, the entry of final decrees on the last day of the period of six months which must elapse before a final decree may be lawfully entered, are practices of omission or commission common enough, and which so vitally concern the status of the parties interested, as to deserve …
The Evidential Force Of Habit And Repute As Opposed To The Substantive Law Concerning Marriage, Burton J. Wheelon
The Evidential Force Of Habit And Repute As Opposed To The Substantive Law Concerning Marriage, Burton J. Wheelon
Washington Law Review
The Washington decisions have settled beyond a doubt that a valid marriage can not take place in this state in any manner other than that prescribed by statute. The statutes were originally enacted in 1854 and have come down to us with practically no alterations and with but few additions. As early as 1892 it was decided that the statutory requirements were mandatory, that a ceremony was essential and that common law marriages, in this state, were invalid. Thus the substantive law has become fixed.
