DECIDING PROPERTY, SOME OFsFTS DANGERS

Such cases as these are so frequent
and lead to SO much litigation and
trouble that everybody should be i'm

descendants. II he has any, subject to
his wife's dover right, which means
her right to a fraction OF the value
OF the use Of the property during her
lifetime. The method OF distributing
personal property Of any one dying
without making will Is different
from real property. 1t is not the pur-
pose Of this article TO go into n semi
technical explanation OF iHtestate es-
tates. but only to emphasize the point
that agreements between husbands
and wives or between children and
parents, as to property. especially
houses. are not enforceable unless
made in the manner provided by law.
The usual way to transfer n house
Is by deed and this deed should be

OF the bank would not disclose any

other, but when one OF the parties
dies the other is not allowed to testify
on the theory that II would be too
much Of a temptation TO. deviate from
the truth and that most transactions
have two sides and that both sides are
entitled to be heard in court This
does not apply to agreements In writ
ing where the writing itself shows
what the agreement is, and the terms
OF the agreement are not dependent
upon one OF the party's recollections
OF conversations years before.
Oral agreements can be proved by
the testimony Of other parties than
those directly interested. A family can
make an oral agreement that could
be proved in court If they called in the
neighbors or stenographer to listen.

TT is risky to deed property to a
relative or a friend with the .ex-
pectation of getting 1t back. or
to put money in house or farm with
out recording the paper showing iux
what the agreement Is. II Is common
for a husband to put property i'm his
wife's name to provide for her after
his death without considering what
will happen If she dies first.
An experienced and able New York
lawyer. Mr.. Gilbert Ray .Hawcs; gave
valuable apartment houses to his wife
some sixteen yeav ago. To provide
that the prope.~y would return to him
in case OF her death before him she
made q will in his favor j .h
Recently Mrs. Hawcs died. After
her death later will was found Civ

tives except a provision OF a few

stored the property which he decided
to his wife 1t will be costly and ex-
pensive to get the property back even

defeat him in litigation.
There was another recent case
where a. sea captain had to begin life

without a cent because he had put
all OF his property In his wife's
name and his wife died tntestate.
that is without, will. and the
house which he had owned went
to his wife's daughters by her first
marriage. who had since married and
had families of their own. They had
been on friendly terms with their
stepfather. but not so friendly that

property which the law gave to them.

1t. Her husband cannot interfere with
this right. She can interfere with
her husbands right to sell real es-
tate by refusing to sign the deed and
retaining her dover interest. That Is
one reason why some men take title
to property In the name OF a cor
peration instead of their own name.
Where a man has bought little
home apd wants to be sure that II will
be his and his wife's he can have the
deed made to himself and his wife, as
tenants by entirety This means that
the house is owned by both OF them
and the survivor. If either dies, either
with or without a will. il does not
affect the title OF the survivor TO be
the sole owner, OF the house.
Similar precautions about the owner

made by a trust agreement with any
trust company providing that the
stocks. bonds. mortgages or other per-
sonal property are turned over to the

A WORTHY CAUSE

The Record is aware that at this
season Of the year every adult person
in Hickory has extra calls made upon
him. There is not single exception, it
may be safely said. Still, all of us
want to do little in many directions.
Here is an opportunity for heads Of
families whose children will be reason
ably well provided for at Christmas.
Over at Bakers mountain, M. H. John
ston has 30 children in school-they
are being given good training. Last
year Hickory made these children hap
py.
Hickory will make them feel happy
again this Christmas. The time Is
short. Those who want to do some
thing should see L. F. Abernethy at
the Consolidated Trust Company or
leave their contributions at drug
stores or the Record.
1t is good cause. 1t is Il chance
to carry happiness to many little chill
dren who cannot expect to get much.
