Nature And Importance Of Legal Possession, Joseph W. Bingham
Nature And Importance Of Legal Possession, Joseph W. Bingham
Michigan Law Review
To impress these unfamiliar facts on our consciousness, so that we shall not lose sight of them during the rest of our discussion, so that we shall not slur them or cloud them by vague use of symbolic ideas or terms concerning property and title, let us repeat the essence of the legal situation. Jackson is the holder of a fee simple acquired tortiously. His title to that fee--i. e. the facts which would induce the courts upon occasion to give him the remedies "vindicating" the existence of this vested fee in him--consist in his actual exclusive use and control …
Nature And Importance Of Legal Possession, Joseph W. Bingham
Nature And Importance Of Legal Possession, Joseph W. Bingham
Michigan Law Review
The careful student of our law of property needs no demonstration of the importance of legal possession. From before the date of the earliest year book the word possession and its synonym seisin have pervaded legal language and have signified matters of great consequence in the decision of cases. "In the history of our law," say Pollock and Maitland, "there is no idea more cardinal than that of seisin. Even in the law of the present day it plays a part which must be studied by every lawyer; but in the past it was so important that we may almost …
The Right To Divert Water To Non-Riparian Land, Ralph W. Aigler
The Right To Divert Water To Non-Riparian Land, Ralph W. Aigler
Articles
Though at one time in England there may have been some doubt as to the character of a riparian owner's rights in the waters of the stream, it must be considered as definitely settled by a series of cases that the doctrine of reasonable use by all the proprietors on the stream is the rule of the common law, and that the matter of priority of use or appropriation is, under that system, immaterial, unless, of course, a question of prescriptive right is involved. Wright v. Howard, 1 Sim. & S. 190; Mason v. Hill, 3 B. & Ad. 304, …
Possession Under Mistake As Adverse Possession, Ralph W. Aigler
Possession Under Mistake As Adverse Possession, Ralph W. Aigler
Articles
In Wissinger v. Reed et al., 125 Pac. lO3O (Aug. 24, 1912) the Supreme Court of Washington held that actual possession of land for the statutory period would confer title upon the occupant, although the possession was under a mistaken belief of ownership. While the doctrine that title to real property may be acquired by adverse possession has been firmly established in English and American law for a great many years, no little difficulty and confusion have arisen in determining what possession is adverse, especially where the actual possession upon which the claim of title is based has been under …
The Lien Or Equitable Theory Of The Mortgage--Some Generalizations, Edgar N. Durfee
The Lien Or Equitable Theory Of The Mortgage--Some Generalizations, Edgar N. Durfee
Articles
The question is--What is the nature of the rights of a real property mortgagee in those jurisdictions which adopt the lien or equitable theory3 of the mortgage? In one sense this question calls for a full statement of the law of mortgages but that, of course, is not the sense in which the writer puts it. He means by it to put a broader and more scientific question--a question, be it at once confessed, of jurisprudence--yet a question which has an important bearing on, if it is not in fact conclusive of, several specific problems in the law, which will …
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.
Does The Power To Alienate In Fee Simple Defeat An Executory Devise?, Bradley M. Thompson
Does The Power To Alienate In Fee Simple Defeat An Executory Devise?, Bradley M. Thompson
Articles
Under the common law one who held an estate in lands in fee simple absolute was the sole owner of such lands, and his right to enjoy the estate and exercise all the powers and privileges incident thereto could not be restricted by the devisor or grantor. The rights and privileges incident to an estate in fee simple constituted the estate-they were all essential, they were its bone, sinew and blood, and in the absence of any one of them the estate was regarded as less than a fee simple. Among those essential rights were the right of possession, the …
The Right Of A Bona Fide Occupant Of Land To Compensation For His Improvements, Henry W. Rogers
The Right Of A Bona Fide Occupant Of Land To Compensation For His Improvements, Henry W. Rogers
Articles
It may be observed, in the first place, that the civil law afforded protection to the bona fide occupant of land, who had made useful or permanent improvements on the land, believing himself to be the true owner. The civil law never permitted one who was in the possession of land in good faith, to be turned out of his possession by the rightful owner, without any compensation for the additional value he has given to the soil by the improvements he had made; but it allowed him to off-set the value of his improvements to the extent, at least, …
Title To Lands Under Fresh Water Lakes And Ponds, Thomas M. Cooley
Title To Lands Under Fresh Water Lakes And Ponds, Thomas M. Cooley
Articles
In the Northwestern States there are innumerable lakes and ponds, which are largely resorted to for pleasure, and for the opportunities they furnish for the taking of game and fish. The scenery about them is, in most cases, picturesque and inviting, and they become favorite locations for residence. On some the navigation is valuable for business purposes; others are navigated for pleasure only. In surveying the public domain for the purposes of sale, the government caused all that were too large to be embraced within a single subdivision of a section, to be meandered at the water line, and the …
