Legal Questions 
Inheritance Tax 
Will yon look up the 
inheritance tax, ami give 
State law on 
me the rates? 
Wifs the law changed last year? If so 
wlum ? J, A, 
New York. 
Property np to the value of $5,000 to 
each of father, mother, husband, wife, 
child or adopted child ib not taxable, 
above this sum jind up to $25,000 the 
tax is 1%, the next .$75,000 is at the 
rate of 2% and so on. To a brother, 
sister, wife or widow of a son or the 
husband of a daughter, $,500 to each is 
exempt from taxation, above this and up 
to $25,000 the tax is 2%, and the next 
$75,000 at '6% and more as the estate 
increases in value. Upon all other in¬ 
heritances $500 is exempt and the rate 
is 5% up to $25,000; G% on the next 
$75,000 find so on. No very material 
change was made in this law in 1916. 
Foreclosure of Mortgage 
Can you tell me what the position of B 
would he in the following transaction tak¬ 
ing place in the State of New York? A 
and B own proi>erty together and hold a 
mortgage on same. They are compelled 
later to foreclose said mortgage, and B 
being unable to be present at the sale, A 
buys the property back. Later A sells 
the property again, and gives all neces¬ 
sary papers and signs them, and B is not 
consulted regarding the .sale of property, 
and tlierefore of course has not signed any 
of these papers, although A and B orig¬ 
inally owned the property and had same 
in both munes. What becomes of B’s in¬ 
terest in this property? When A sold the 
property the purcha.ser wfis given a ref¬ 
eree deed. I)oes this influence the in¬ 
terest of B in any way? E. A. 
Bennsylvauia. 
The common interest of A and B was 
foreclosed or closed out at the sfile under 
foreirlosiire proceedings and at that sale 
anybody, including A or B, or A and B, 
or a sti-finger, could hfive bought the prop¬ 
erty, After the sale A and B together 
had no more interest in the property. 
A’s buying at that time made a new 
transaction, and unless he took some ad- 
vantffge of B, or withheld information 
where he was under duty to speak, B has 
no claim against him or against the prop¬ 
erty. The referee was appointed by the 
court to sell the property under the 
foreclosure, and his deed was the only 
one which could have been given. This 
circumstance would make no difference 
with B’s interest. 
Distribution of Property 
1. If a woman dies leaving no children 
and no will docs her husband receive all 
her per.sonal belongings and property in 
New York State? 2. Tliis woman’s father 
willed his property to her mother and at 
the mother’s (’cath to his children. Now 
if this daughter dies before the mother 
will her husbfind receive lier share of her 
father’s propc'rty or does it go back to 
the other children? 
1. No; after the payment of debts and 
funeral expenses he receives half, and 
the balance goes to the next of kin. If 
there are no descendants (children) nor 
parent, brother or sister, nephew or niece 
of the wife, the husband would take it all. 
2. There being a will what happens is 
entirely dependent on its terms, that is 
whether the father left it to his wife for 
life and then to the children then living, 
or in some other way. If he gave it to 
his wife for life and remainder over to 
his children, then only the children living 
at the time of his death would take and 
the daughter’s husband would have no 
interest in the property. 
Rights Under Mortgage 
A buys 10 iicros of brii.sh land from 
B for $200. I'ci-ms $25 <‘a.sh and mort¬ 
gage of $175 piiyable in $5 monthly in¬ 
stallments, due each month. Later. B 
sells mortgage to bank. A continues to 
remit money to bank. One month he 
failed to do so but sent $10 the follow¬ 
ing month. Bank is now going out of 
business and demands immediate pay¬ 
ment of remainder of mortgage ($80) 
in full, contending they can do so be¬ 
cause A broke his contract by not pay¬ 
ing regularly. Can the bank by law en¬ 
force its demands on those grounds? 
Can they not he obliged to come and 
collect the monthly installments, which 
they have never done? Cannot A use 
this fact to counteract their demands of 
full payment, inasmuch as they did not 
appear to collect iustallmouts when due? 
Connecticut. j. g. d. 
Of course the term's of the contract 
or mortgage would govern, but it would 
seem as if the bank waived the breach 
of contract when it went on receiving 
the $5 per month after the breach oc¬ 
curred. If. by the tei’ms of the contract, 
the bank must come for the money, then 
of course it must do .so unless by your 
actions you have wiiived this provision. 
TTiider the circumstaner A should tell 
the hank they waived 'l^e >ie default 
and that he will stand on the terms of 
the instrument and pay the installments 
when due and not otlierwise. It looks as 
[ if they were going beyond their rights.
