Constitutional Law - Church And State - Statute Requiring Religion To Be Taken Into Consideration In Adoption, David W. Swanson May 1955

Constitutional Law - Church And State - Statute Requiring Religion To Be Taken Into Consideration In Adoption, David W. Swanson

Michigan Law Review

ln 1951, a Jewish couple obtained custody of illegitimate twins who were then two weeks old. In 1954, the couple formally sought to adopt the children. Although petitioners were otherwise qualified to act as parents, a Massachusetts statute provides that "in making orders for adoption, the judge when practicable must give custody only to persons of the same religious faith as that of the child." The twins' natural mother was Catholic but had consented in writing to adoption by the petitioners and to rearing of the children in the Jewish faith. The lower court found that several Catholic couples had …

Wills - Revocation By Change In Circumstances - Effect Of A Separation And Property Settlement Agreement, Paul R. Haerle May 1955

Wills - Revocation By Change In Circumstances - Effect Of A Separation And Property Settlement Agreement, Paul R. Haerle

Michigan Law Review

Testator's will, executed in 1944, named his wife executrix and sole devisee. One month before his death in 1952 he entered into a detailed separation and property settlement agreement with her in which, though not referring directly to the will, the wife released any present, future or after-acquired interest in the same realty as was devised in the will. The widow's offering of the will for probate was contested by the heirs. The lower court directed a verdict for the contestants on the ground that the agreement operated to revoke the will. On appeal, held, reversed. Since neither a …

Descent And Distribution - Intestate Succession From An Adopted Child - Who Aim His "Brothers And Sisters", Jack G. Armstrong Mar 1955

Descent And Distribution - Intestate Succession From An Adopted Child - Who Aim His "Brothers And Sisters", Jack G. Armstrong

Michigan Law Review

Decedent had never married and was predeceased by his natural and adopted parents. The California statute provided that in such a case his property would go to his brothers and sisters. Appellant, the natural daughter of decedent's adopted parents, contended that she was his sole heir under this statute, while respondent, decedent's natural brother, argued that the term ''brothers and sisters" meant blood relatives. The superior court applied the common meaning of the words brothers and sisters and held that appellant was not such a person. On appeal, held, reversed. Since the entire pattern of the California code indicates …

Annulment Under The Washington Divorce Act Of 1949, John R. Tomlinson Feb 1955

Annulment Under The Washington Divorce Act Of 1949, John R. Tomlinson

Washington Law Review

In the law of domestic relations, an anulment is to be distinguished from a divorce, in that a divorce is the termination, dissolution or suspension of a previously existing valid marriage; usually for some cause arising after the marriage, whereas an annulment is a court decree proclaiming that an obstensibly legal marital relationship is stripped of its color of legality, and declared void ab initio, for some reason existing at the time of the marriage

Community Property—Ownership During Probate Of The Estate Of One Spouse For Income Tax Purposes, John A. Gose Feb 1955

Community Property—Ownership During Probate Of The Estate Of One Spouse For Income Tax Purposes, John A. Gose

Washington Law Review

In the case of U.S. v. Merrill, 211 F.2d 297, (9th Cir. 1954), the court held that when a wife dies in the state of Washington leaving solely community property and the surviving spouse serves as executor of her estate, only one-half of the executor's fee paid to the husband from community funds is taxable to him as income. The other one-half of the fee is chargeable to his share of community property. Further, the court in dictum said that when one spouse dies leaving an estate consisting only of community property, the executor or administrator is not the owner …

Random Thoughts On Marriage And Divorce, Samuel H. Silbert Jan 1955

Random Thoughts On Marriage And Divorce, Samuel H. Silbert

Cleveland State Law Review

Marriage and divorce give rise to our most perplexing legal difficulties. This is partly due to social considerations. A primary cause, however, can be found in the States' Rights Doctrine as a consequence of which there has been constant confusion and a lack of uniformity in our laws. Our various states differ on when people may marry; whom they may marry; the ages at which they may marry; the residence requirements for divorce and the grounds for divorce. Thus, despite the Full Faith and Credit Clause in the United States Constitution, the decrees obtained in one state are not necessarily …

Domestic Relations -- 1954 Tennessee Survey, William J. Harbison

Vanderbilt Law Review

An important case dealing with testamentary restraint upon adoptions was decided by the Tennessee Supreme Court during the survey period.' The case was one of first impression in this jurisdiction and appears to be one of the few decisions upon the subject in the United States. In his will testator created a trust for his granddaughter, the child of his deceased son. He imposed a condition that if the child were adopted before her eighteenth birthday by someone outside testator's immediate family, and if her name were changed, then the trust should terminate and the corpus be distributed to other …

Translated Opinions

In a suit between husband and wife before a Rabbinical Court, it was held that the husband by virtue of a usufruct accorded to the husband by Jewish law, was entitled to receive the rent of a certain property registered in the Lands Registry in the wife's name. The Rabbinical Court had purported to exercise jurisdiction under Article 51 and 53 of the Palestine Order in Council, 1922, in terms of which "suits regarding marriage" or "matters of marriage" are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the religious courts. The wife petitioned the High Court of Justice to restrain the levy …

Creation Of Joint Rights Between Husband And Wife In Personal Property: Ii, R. Bruce Townsend May 1954

Creation Of Joint Rights Between Husband And Wife In Personal Property: Ii, R. Bruce Townsend

Michigan Law Review

The net effect of the general legislation pertaining to the creation of joint tenancy has been to make lawyers sensitive to language expressing an intent to create joint tenancy, tenancy by the entireties and other types of survivorship rights which may or may not fall within the foregoing concepts. And so the law has busied itself with the task of giving technical meanings to words used by members of the public in their efforts to create joint rights in property-a task that has not been fully appreciated by people who acquire personal property from bankers, brokers, clerks and the like …
