Legal Questions 
Descent of Property | 
If a married woman dies without 
making a will, and slip loaves a liushand 
and several children, how is her iirofierty 
and money divided between hushand and 
ehildren in the State of Virginia? i 
E. h. H. ! 
'I'lie hushand would have a eommon 
law “estate by e-'iirtesy.” which is an e.s- 
tate for his life in all his deceased wife’.s 
real projierty, the balance at his death ; 
then going in efpial shares to the children. ' 
The hnshand would be entitled to all of 
the fiei’sonal jirojierty after the iiayment | 
of debts and funeral expenses. If a difl'er- ^ 
ent distrihntion of the property than this j 
is desired the wife should make a will, and ' 
it would jirohahly he safer in tlie end to 
have a comjietmit attorney atlmid to it. 
Right of Husband to Property 
A bought n. farm of I.S jures with 
hnildings. lie deediul it over to his wife. 
She died in April, four years ago. ’They 
had no children; shi' left no will. 'Phe 
farm descended to his wife's thre(> sisters, 
lie then paid thi'in .$(!(K) ea<-h for a life 
interest in the jdace, the farm to levmt 
to the sisters at his death, lie has been 
living on the farm and jiays its t xes. 
Should the farm descend to his wif<“'s sis¬ 
ters in the first place, or back to him. and 
if to them, did he have to pay anything to 
li(‘ alilo to stay on the place during his 
rf' time?^ E. M. 
New York. 
Inasmuch as the legal title to the farm 
V : s in the wife’s name at her death it 
\.<iul(l descend to her heirs. I>ut there 
was no will, and the husband wmilil then 
have been entitled to what is cslled his 
right of courtesy of a life interest in his 
d(‘ceas(>d wife's real property ; that is to 
the same right and tith' he has obtained 
by a iia.vuH'nt of ijH.SOO to his sisters-in- 
law. He has hi,light something he already 
had. Morally, the sisters should repay 
him, as the law had aln-ady given him a 
life intere.st. Then. too. had bought 
the proix rly and morally he is entitled to 
all of it now. If the sisters are not in¬ 
clined to make repayment it might be well 
to consult a good hM-al attorney, as there 
is a chance that these jiayments may be 
legally ri’covered, inasmuch as they were 
probably made under a mistjike of fact 
and law. In a ca.se of this kind, when 
title is taken in the wife’s name, it is al¬ 
ways well to h<3'(' fbe wife make a will 
leaving (he property to her husband, 
which she may lawfully do.

Duties of an Executor 
Mr. (lies iind loaves a will a.s follows : 
After bis death all his just debts are to he 
j)aid. Ilis wife is to have the entire use 
of all his real estate and use of all the 
personal proiierty. after debts are deduet 
ed. as long as she lives. .After Mrs. A.’s 
death the proiiert.v, hotli real estate and 
jx'rsonal. is to he divided between Mr. 
A.’s children, share and share alike. The 
debts, including fnm'ral exjienses. etc., 
are about .$000. Personal jiroperty con¬ 
sists of IS cows, four two-ycar-oid hidfers, 
a team of horses and all farm tools, etc. 
There arc 100 aen's of real estate. Mr. A- 
anpointed his only son to act as executor. 
AVliat jiower has executor over real es¬ 
tate; also i»ersonal property? (Mn he 
sell oil the personal property, or just 
enough to pay Mr. .A.’s debts? Also, can 
executor rent the farm without Mrs. A.’s 
consent? Milk from dairy is sent to a 
condensery. I)o(‘S Mrs. A. have the right 
to the checks or must they he made out 
to executor? lias Mrs. A. any right to 
sell any of the ixu-sonal property? Air. A. 
also had about .$.‘500 in the hank. Iliis 
exeeutor any riglit to v.se said money to 
pa.v Mr. .A.’s debts? If not, what disiio- 
sition should be made of it? M. s. s. 
The (‘X(‘(*utor is apno’nted in the will 
to carry out the provisions made in the 
will. Ilis duties vary somewhat in the 
different States. .As a general thing his 
jiowers are given him by the will and this 
also limits his scope. t)ne eannot tell 
exactl.v the duties f»f this exeeutor with¬ 
out studying the will. He should first 
collect all moneys due the estate, then 
pa.v’ the fuiK'ral exjienses and the ddits. 
Then if the jiower is given him in the will 
he should manage the jirojierty and turn 
all the jiroceeds after jiayment of exiienses 
over to Mrs. .A. until h<‘r death. If the 
power to manage i.s not given the executor 
after collectin accounts and paying debts 
and funeral exjiemses he should make his 
accounting to the surrogate’s court and 
turn the balance of the jirojiei-ty over to 
Mrs. .A. He would have no right to leasi* 
the real estate without Mrs. A.'s consent 
unless the will gives him this right. H(> 
cannot sell all the jiersonal projierty. only 
enough to jiay debts, unless the will gives 
him this right. Mrs. .A. has no right to 
sell any of the persfinal jirojierty until 
the executor makes his accounting and 
i turns the jiroperty over to her. 'I'he milk 
checks jirobably go to the executor until 
he makes his accounting. ’J'he money in 
bank should be used to jiay debts. It 
would Jirobably be to Mrs. A.’s advantage 
to consult a trustworthy local attorney if 
she feels she is not being jiroperly dealt 
with, as be can consult the will and get 
more of the facts.
