Whelan Jennifer White FOREWORD BY THE HON . LORD WOOLMAN SENATOR OF THE COLLEGE OF JUSTICE Has the ASLR already reached its second volume? I am delighted that the brio of those involved in launching the project has been sustained. That is evident from the table of contents for the new volume. The topics range across legal history, oil and gas law and the law of evidence. In my view, volume two confirms that the ASLR is continuing to make a significant contribution to legal learning in Scotland. Stephen Woolman July 2011 INTRODUCTION TO VOLUME TWO In 1987 Professor Erwin N Griswold, former Dean of Harvard Law School, gave an insight into the history of the Harvard Law Review, the oldest student-led law review in the world. He acknowledged: Some people are concerned that a major legal periodical in the United States is edited and managed by students. It is an unusual situation, but it started that way, and it developed mightily from its own strength.1 I firmly believe in the strength of the student law review, and it is this belief that has shaped the endeavours of the editorial team during the past year The second year of a professional publication can be as difficult as the first, and this year has certainly not been without challenge.

  • New Jersey Law Revision Commission
    State of New Jersey NJLRC New Jersey Law Revision Commission FINAL REPORT relating to PROBATE CODE REVISIONS September 1999 NEW JERSEY LAW REVISION COMMISSION 153 Halsey Street, 7th Fl., Box 47016 Newark, New Jersey 07102 973-648-4575 (Fax) 648-3123 email: [email protected] web site: http://www.lawrev.state.nj.us /rpts/probate99.doc 1 INTRODUCTION The Commission began this project in response to a problem regarding the Probate Code. As originally stated, the problem was that the father of a person who dies intestate and without issue takes a share of the estate even if the identity of the father is not known. However, research indicated that the real problem was broader and was caused by the failure of the statutes to provide clearly for what should be done when we do not know whether heirs of a particular class exist or when we cannot find particular persons who should inherit. A number of statutes bear on the subject. One set of statutes, 3B:23-19 and 20, provides for advertisement, and if there is no response the missing heirs have waived the inheritance and the other heirs divide the property. However, other sections, 3B:5-5 and 3B:23-21 provide that the property should be held for the missing heir, in perpetuity, by the State Unclaimed Property Administrator. The issue was raised in a recent case, Matter of Estate of Peterson, 316 N.J. Super. 549 (Ch.Div. 1998), which concerns an intestate estate that was to be divided among 31 heirs. One heir, a first cousin, could not be located.

    James T. Young Singleton, Burroughs & Young, P.A. 1303 Third Avenue Post Office Box 1244 Conway, South Carolina 29528 843-248-4229 Part 9 SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO DISTRIBUTION Section 62-3-901. In the absence of administration, the devisees are entitled to the estate in accordance with the terms of a probated will and the heirs in accordance with the laws of intestate succession. Devisees may establish title by the probated will to devised property. Persons entitled to property by exemption or intestacy may establish title thereto by proof of the decedent's ownership, his death, and their relationship to the decedent. Successors take subject to all charges incident to administration, including the claims of creditors and subject to the rights of others resulting from abatement, retainer, advancement, and ademption, and elective share. REPORTER'S COMMENT This section governs the rights of heirs and devisees when the administrator of an estate is not able to proceed for one reason or another or in the absence of administration. This section provides that in the absence of administration the rights of the heirs or devisees will be established by the laws of intestate succession or by the terms of a probated will. Without an administration, heirs and devisees take the property subject to charges, such as charges incident to administration and creditors' claims. In addition, successors in title are 'subject to the rights of others' which may result from 'abatement, retainer, advancement, ademption and elective share.' Section 62-3-902. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), and except as provided in connection with the share of the surviving spouse who elects to take an elective share, shares of distributees abate, without any preference or priority as between real and personal property, in the following order: (1) property not disposed of by the will; (2) residuary devises; (3) general devises; (4) specific devises.
