Should The Rule Against Perpetuities Discard Its Vest?, Daniel M. Schuyler
Should The Rule Against Perpetuities Discard Its Vest?, Daniel M. Schuyler
Michigan Law Review
From what has preceded it is apparent that none of those who would reform the rule against perpetuities, excepting Professor Simes, has suggested that the rule's application to remoteness of vesting alone requires investigation. Yet there is little doubt that this aspect of the rule has caused as much if not more litigation than those which have been so harshly condemned. Proof of this assertion will not be undertaken, for every property lawyer knows how frequently courts are called upon to determine whether for purposes of the rule an interest is "vested" or "contingent." Professor Simes put it well when …

Michigan Title Examinations And The 1954 Revenue Code's New General Lien Provisions, L. Hart Wright
Michigan Title Examinations And The 1954 Revenue Code's New General Lien Provisions, L. Hart Wright
Michigan Law Review
Title examiners, and more particularly their clients, have long suffered from a controversy-limited almost exclusively to Michigan- involving the methods by which the United States Treasury Department could perfect general federal tax liens. The December 1952 issue of the Michigan Law Review carried an article by the present writer pointing up the irreconcilable difference which has existed for a quarter of a century between the type of record notice which the Treasury was willing to provide prospective bona fide purchasers et al., and the quite different and more demanding type which the Michigan Legislature insisted upon if the local offices …

Treaties Governing The Succession To Real Property By Aliens, Willard L. Boyd, Jr.
Treaties Governing The Succession To Real Property By Aliens, Willard L. Boyd, Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Under customary international law no nation has the duty to grant to aliens the right to hold real property. Although international law accords to an alien the privilege of participating in the economic life of the state of his residence, this privilege does not encompass the right to hold real property. The right to succeed to and hold real property is a matter solely within the competence of a nation. It is for each nation exclusively to regulate the acquisition and tenure of real property. National authority in this regard can be traced to the concept that the sovereign may …
Restraints On Alienation Of Equitable Interests In Michigan Property, William F. Fratcher
Restraints On Alienation Of Equitable Interests In Michigan Property, William F. Fratcher
Michigan Law Review
In the Middle Ages a conveyance of land to a monastic corporation resulted in a serious loss of income to the feudal overlord. As such corporations never died, the overlord ceased to receive the reliefs payable on the death of a tenant and to enjoy the feudal incidents of wardship and marriage of minor heirs. Monks could not be compelled to perform military services and it was difficult or impossible to compel a monastery to perform other services incident to tenure. The twelfth and thirteenth centuries saw great expansion in monastic land holdings and consequent loss to the king and …
Restraints On Alienation Of Legal Interests In Michigan Property: Iii, William F. Fratcher
Restraints On Alienation Of Legal Interests In Michigan Property: Iii, William F. Fratcher
Michigan Law Review
In England the impossibility of inter vivos creation of interests in expectancy in chattels and the unsuitability for the purpose of the devices of bailment and contract have tended to restrict attempts to restrain the alienation of chattels to the trust device and provisions in wills for forfeiture on alienation. The trust device involves equitable interests, which are beyond the scope of this study. In connection with a bequest of the use and occupation of chattels for life or a term of years the English courts would probably sustain the validity of a provision for forfeiture on alienation by way …

Restraints On Alienation Of Legal Interests In Michigan Property: I, William F. Fratcher
Michigan Law Review
During the century and a half which followed the Norman Conquest, the owner of land who attempted to transfer it might meet with opposition from three interested parties, his feudal overlord, his heir apparent and his tenant. His feudal overlord might object to a transfer by way of substitution, that is, one under the terms of which the transferor did not retain a reversion; because the proposed transferee was not a suitable person to perform the feudal services due for the land. As these services were frequently of a personal or military nature such an objection was not necessarily captious. …

The Development Of The Massachusetts Probate System, Thomas E. Atkinson
The Development Of The Massachusetts Probate System, Thomas E. Atkinson
Michigan Law Review
American lawyers and laymen alike take for granted a system of probate of wills and administration of decedents' estates under the supervision of a single tribunal usually called a probate court. We are familiar with the setting up of the will, appointment of the personal representative, filing of bond and inventory by the latter, granting of allowances for support of the family, notice to creditors to present their claims, and settlement of accounts of the administration, all accomplished by this court's orders or under its scrutiny. While real property is deemed to pass directly to the heirs or devisees, it …
A Legal Approach To Equitable Servitudes, Ralph A. Newman
A Legal Approach To Equitable Servitudes, Ralph A. Newman
Michigan Law Review
The variety of conceptions of the nature of equitable servitudes is only one indication of the complexity of this particular branch of the law; the difficulty of classifying the topic as a branch of equity rather than of real property, or the reverse, is another, and one which grows out of the interplay of both of these divisions of the law upon the particular field of equitable servitudes. The following discussion is designed to indicate that many of the difficulties inherent in the concept of equitable servitudes may be resolved by analyzing the subject from the point of approach of …

Waters And Watercourses-Right Of Public Passage Along Great Lakes Beaches
Waters And Watercourses-Right Of Public Passage Along Great Lakes Beaches
Michigan Law Review
May the littoral owner whose summer cottage abuts on one of the Great Lakes bring actions of trespass quare clausum against pedestrians who traverse the sand beach which lies at the aquatic terminus of his property? To state the same problem in different form, may he build a lateral line fence designed to exclude the public from that segment of the lake-side beach which he claims as his? The question has never been directly decided by the supreme court of any State, yet it is a source of constant strife between littoral owners who desire privacy and seclusion, and strolling …

Some Greek Legal Papyri From The Michigan Collection, A Er Boak
Michigan Law Review
The documents which form the subject of this paper are part of the Michigan Collection of Papyri recently acquired by Professor F. W. Kelsey in Egypt and secured for the University by the generosity of the Regents and certain friends and alumni, among the latter Mr. J. W. Anderson, of the Law Class of 189o. A large proportion of these documents are of a legal nature, and from these I have selected for translation four, which may be regarded as typical specimens of their respective classes.
The Struggle For A Perpetuity, John R. Rood
The Struggle For A Perpetuity, John R. Rood
Articles
It is natural for us moderns to conceive of the right to alienate as an inseparable incident of ownership, since we have known no other condition; and in the modern books and decisions the subject is generally disposed of with the curt statement as if it were a truism. It is believed that to such as are not familiar with the history of that doctrine a review of the struggle through centuries, by which it was finally established on its present firm foundation, would not be devoid of interest.

“The following pages have been printed from the notes made from time to time while preparing to conduct exercises in the first course on real property at the University of Michigan, using Blackstone’s Commentaries on the text.… In this edition several typographical errors in the first impression have been discovered and corrected. The scope of the work has also been extended by numerous additions throughout, and by inserting the chapters on uses, trusts, and powers, which did not appear in the first edition.

Statute Of Uses And The Modern Deed, John R. Rood
Statute Of Uses And The Modern Deed, John R. Rood
Articles
To what extent does the modem conveyance of estates in land in the United States by deed derive its validity from the English Statute of Uses, 27 Hen. 8, c. IO? No doubt the student, and especially the teacher, is inclined to magnify the importance of mere matters of history, because it is so much easier to understand or explain many of the terms and doctrines of real property law by approaching them historically, and, indeed, many of them cannot otherwise be understood at all. And yet we all have this constant, serious, and often difficult task, of separating matter …
