LEGAL ADVICE. 
Bill of Sale. 
What would be the necessary proceed¬ 
ings for a man to take to give his wife a 
legal and lawful bill of sale of personal 
property? Must it be published or ad¬ 
vertised, and must it be recorded in town 
or county clerk’s office? b. b. 
New York. 
A bill of sale of property from bus- 
band to wife, where there is no consider¬ 
ation, is practically a gift, when made in 
good faith. All that is necessary is an 
execution of the bill of sale and a deliv¬ 
ery of the property. It does not have 
to be published or advertised, nor does 
it have to be filed in any public office. 
Of course this cannot be done merely as 
a means of defrauding creditors. But 
where there are no creditors a bona fide 
gift of any property may be made from 
husband directly to wife. 
Estate Questions. 
1. What is the law in Connecticut con¬ 
cerning property of a man who died with¬ 
out making a will, and leaves a wife and 
more than one child? 2. Does it make 
any difference about the share a wife 
gets if she is a second wife? 3. What 
are the rights of a conservator and how 
are they usually paid? 4. Do they (con¬ 
servators) have the power or right to act 
concerning any business without the con¬ 
sent of all the heirs? 5. If a man dies 
without making a will, does a grandson 
come in for any share of the estate if his 
father (said man’s son) is not living? 
Connecticut. x. Y. z. 
1. There is a difference in distribution 
depending on whether the marriage took 
! place before or after April 20, 1877. 
If since that date, wife gets one-third of 
all property real and personal, and bal¬ 
ance goes in equal shares to the children 
and legal representatives of any children 
who may be dead. 2. No, this makes no 
difference. 3. A conservator is one ap¬ 
pointed to look after the property of one 
incapable of looking after his own af¬ 
fairs; he gives a bond, takes an inven¬ 
tory of the property, accounts to the pro¬ 
bate court each year, and he has the gen¬ 
eral management of the property. 4. 
They may act without the consent of any 
of the heirs. So far as I can tell they 
are paid by allowance by the probate 
court- 5 The grandson would share in 
the estate his father would have received. 
Property Matters. 
1. Cau a woman—or wife—own prop¬ 
erty in her own name in Virginia? 2. If 
a real estate man sells property and the 
buyer finds the title not perfect, and re¬ 
fuses to take the property, can the real 
estate man collect fee because the owner 
does not clear title? The title can be 
cleared, but would cost us more than we 
can afford. Can the buyer collect ex¬ 
penses for having title examined? 3. Can 
a man who has a judgment against our 
property—seedsman, $17.50—sell our 
place or anything we have, to collect? 
Virginia. mbs. c. a. b. 
1. A married woman shall have the 
right to acquire, hold, use, control and 
dispose of property as if she were un¬ 
married. subject however to her husband’s 
right of courtesy in her real estate. 2. 
The weight of authority is that if the real 
estate man agreed to find property for 
you, and did, he is entitled to his com¬ 
mission ; it is not his fault that the title 
is bad. The seller is the person who 
should clear the title, and he cannot com¬ 
pel you to take the property till the title 
is cleared. You should pay for examining 
the title to the property unless the seller 
agreed to pay it for you. 3. Y'es, your 
property may be sold under an execution 
on a judgment, except the property ex¬ 
empt from an execution, such as certain 
household goods, wearing apparel, one 
horse, one cow and calf, etc. 
Administration of Estate. 
I am heir to my father’s estate. 1. 
Could I bring a bill against the estate, 
for labor performed on the father’s place 
since I was 21 years of age, there being 
no agreement for wages, or otherwise? 
2. Could I collect for doing chores on the 
place for six months’ time, and I have 
rent of house free? 3. Must all bills 
against estate be presented to the pro¬ 
bate office, or administrator before six 
months’ time? 4. Could the administrator 
take crops from me, 1 having lease of 
farm for five years, but no recorded lease 
of farm, I agreeing to support and pay all 
bills for father and wife? I received use 
of farm for their support, my lease run¬ 
ning out at death of father. 5. What share 
does the widow get, also what share do the 
four sons get of property?” k. a. s. 
Connecticut. 
1. No. The presumption is that these 
services were given gratuitously; more 
especially is this so where the father is 
dead. 2. Y’ou probably could not if it is 
but a continuation of the work you have 
done for years. If it is a new work, done 
to preserve the estate, the chances are 
you could. 3. Bills must be presented 
within such times as probate court shall 
direct, not exceeding 12 months nor less 
than six months. 4. If you can establish 
the lease the crops harvested belong to 
you and cannot be taken. 5. If married 
since April 20, 1877, one-third of all real 
and personal property goes to wife and 
balance of all property goes in equal 
shares to children.
