BERN, Switzerland, Jan. 13.-
A mysterious package left by

ty. Both executed a deed to the
land to the other. They intended
that the SURVIVOR of them should re-
cord the deed to him, believing that
IN this manner title would be clear

bate.
Knowing that delivery was re-
CURED they gave them to a mutual
friend with instructions to deliver
them to the survivor upon the death

Q TEST APPLIED

The test to be applied is this: At
the time the deeds were given to
the mutual friend wa shtere pre-
sent intention to part with the til
tie? In this case, there being no
further facts shown, the answer is
no.
If both deeds had been recorded
either when executed or upon the
death of one party, one would have
Cancelled the other and the title
would have remained unchanged
At the time the deeds were given to
the mutual friend each intended
still to retain full title. 1t was only
after the death of one that it was
intended title should pass The re-
quirement of delivery was not met;
hence no title passed y bthe deed
This is a familiar instance of an
attempt to use deeds to take the
place OF will In general. this is
unsafe. 1t is likely to produce It'll
cation that can be more costly than
both the preparation and probate
of will, and at the same time may
defeat the intent of the authors of
the deeds.
Tt is quite rare that a well drawn
and properly executed will is over
turned or even attacked
