Domestic Relations -- 1963 Tennessee Survey, T. A. Smedley

Vanderbilt Law Review

During 1963, the Tennessee Supreme and Appellate Courts faced a wide variety of problems in the domestic relations field, but handed down no decisions of outstanding significance. The legislature made several minor revisions in relevant statutes, one of which may prove to be a rather important change in this state's divorce law.

Fiduciary Administration-Power Of Court To Authorize Inter Vivos Distribution From Incompetent's Estate, Robert C. Bonges

Michigan Law Review

The guardians of an eighty-six-year-old incompetent multi-millionaire petitioned for authorization to give a portion of the ward's assets to his children and grandchildren. It was not suggested that the proposed beneficiaries were currently in need of funds, but rather the sole purpose of the inter vivas distribution was to minimize the impact of federal estate taxes on the ward's estate at his death. It was alleged and proved, however, that the proposed distribution would follow a plan which accorded substantially with the terms of the ward's will, and which the ward presumably would have followed himself, had he remained competent …

International Law-Treaties-Inheritance Rights Of Residents Of Yugoslavia, Charles F. Niemeth

Michigan Law Review

All the heirs at law of a Pennsylvania resident who died intestate resided in Yugoslavia. The Orphans' Court found that the distributees would not have the actual benefit, use, enjoyment or control of their intestate shares. In accordance with a state statute providing for such contingency,1 the funds were ordered paid, without escheat, into the state treasury. On appeal, held, affirmed, one judge dissenting. Because the statute is custodial rather than confiscatory, it is not repugnant to the most-favored-nation clause of the treaty between the United States and Yugoslavia which provides for reciprocal rights of inheritance between citizens of …

Child Custody In A Federal System, Leonard G. Ratner

Michigan Law Review

Among the most difficult of judicial functions is the determination of a child's custody after its parents have separated. The difficulties are acute enough when all the parties remain in the same place; when the parties are in different states, an additional perplexing problem arises as to which state should have authority to make the custody decision. This broad question can be resolved into three distinct though interrelated issues: (1) what state may initially determine custody; (2) what state may later modify that determination; (3) to what extent is such a determination binding on other states.

Challenge And Response In Family Law, Max Rheinstein

Vanderbilt Law Review

The invitation to write for this symposium on Stability and Change Through Law a short article about challenges and responses in the field of family law has been a challenge. I accepted it hesitatingly. The time limit allowed was too short to permit investigation or elaboration. However, it has given me an opportunity to express some judgments I have come to form in some thirty years of occupation with family law. With one exception all these judgments are based on general impression rather than systematic incisive research. A topic on which extensive research has been undertaken is that of divorce; …

Community Property—Savings Bonds—Community Property—Supremacy Clause, Richard E. Keefe

Washington Law Review

This note concerns the conflict between federal and state law in a difficult though narrow area which is representative of broader problems in contemporary federalism. Specifically, the subject is the clash between the survivorship provisions of United States savings bonds and state community property laws, as evinced in two recent cases, Free v. Bland and Yiatchos v. Yiatchos. These cases will be examined while seeking an answer to two questions: "How were the cases actually decided?" and "How should they have been decided?"'
