Topic: Curtesy

	Curtesy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Curtesy, in law, is the life interest which a husband has in certain events in the lands of which his wife was in her lifetime actually seised for an estate of inheritance.
		The Mirroir des Justices ascribes it to Henry I. Digby, that it is connected with curia, and has reference either to the attendance of the husband as tenant of the lands at the lord's court, or to mean simply that the husband is acknowledged tenant by the courts of England.
		In the case of gavelkind lands the husband has a right to curtesy, whether there is issue born or not; but the curtesy extends only to a moiety of the wife's lands and ceases if the husband marries again.

	Curtesy - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		CURTESY (a variant of " courtesy," q.v.), in law, the life interest which a husband has in certain events in the lands of which his wife was in her lifetime actually seised for an estate of inheritance.
		It has been said to be an interest peculiar to England and to Scotland, hence called the "curtesy of England " and the " curtest' of Scotland "; but this is erroneous, for it is found also in Germany and France.
		if a wife were seised of lands in tail male the birth of a daughter would not entitle the husband to a tenancy by curtesy; (4) the title to the tenancy vests only on the death of the wife.

	Savell & Associates - Intestate Succession in Arkansas
		CURTESY - The life tenure formerly enjoyed by a husband in his wife's land inheritance after her death, provided they had an issue able to inherit.
		Generally in Arkansas a surviving spouse is entitled to a dower or curtesy (hereinafter "dower") interest of a 1/3 life estate in all realty if the deceased spouse left descendants.
		The signature of the non-owning spouse is required to release his or her right of dower or curtesy, if the lease is to be free of the claim of the non-owning spouse's interest of dower or curtesy.

	THE EFFECT OF MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE ON REAL PROPERTY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Where title was held in the name of the wife, the marriage created a curtesy interest in the surviving husband; where title was held in the name of the husband, a dower interest existed in the surviving wife.
		Dower was the right of the surviving widow to a life estate in one third in value of all of the real property of which her husband was seized of a freehold estate of inheritance during the marriage.
		The right of curtesy was identical except that the surviving husband enjoyed a life estate in all of the real property of which his wife was seized during the marriage.

	Marlin v. Lewallen, 276 U.S. 58, 48 S.Ct. 248, 72 L.Ed. 467 (1928)
		She died intestate November 29, 1904, while seized of the lands, and was survived by her husband, by issue of her marriage with him and by issue of a former marriage, all of the issue being Creeks and capable of inheriting the lands.
		But after the enactment of chapter 104, which was a later statute, chapter 20 was construed by reason thereof as no longer recognizing curtesy initiate, which at common law vested during coverture, and as recognizing curtesy consummate only where the wife died seized of the land and intestate.
		We say 'concurrently passing' because the restricted form of curtesy recognized by the Arkansas law did not attach during coverture, but only on the wife's death and then only where she died seized of the land and intestate.

		The circuit court denied his curtesy interest after his wife, Gail O'Marra, executed a quitclaim deed and an agreed court order in favor of her ex-husband, appellee Michael MacKool.
		Summary judgment should be granted only when it is clear that there are no genuine issues of material fact to be litigated, and the party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
		In the case at bar, neither claim preclusion nor issue preclusion prevents appellant's lawsuit, because the appellant was not a party to the original divorce case.

		Common law rights that were life estates in all (curtesy) or one-third (dower) of the real estate that the predeceased spouse had acquired during the marriage.
		Curtesy was the right of a surviving husband; dower was the right of a surviving wife.
		By mid-20th century, most states had abolished dower and curtesy and had substituted an elective share of both realty and personalty.

	Legitime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most jurisdictions in the United States have enacted statutes that prohibit a testator from disinheriting a spouse, or provided that in the event of such a will the spouse may elect to "take against the will" and claim a statutory share of a decedent's estate.
		This is done as a substitute for the common law rights of dower and curtesy.
		In Louisiana, up until recently, the situation was different.

	Greater Capital Area Association of REALTORS® - Legal Corner
		For those unfamiliar with the legal term of dower and curtesy, it is sufficient to note that there are three ways of inheriting an interest in real property from a deceased spouse - by will, by statute (when there is no will or intestacy), or by dower/curtesy.
		This last option of dower/ curtesy would grant the surviving spouse a life estate interest in a defined portion of the real property, upon the death of the record owner spouse.
		It should be noted that the District of Columbia was one of the last remaining States to remove this procedural aggravation from the law books.

	Revocable Living Trust - community property, dower or curtesy requirements state
		Some of these state laws, but not all, also give to a surviving spouse certain rights that cannot be defeated by gifts, the revocable living trust or other transfers.
		The portion of property due a wife by law is called dower, the portion of property due a husband from his wife is called curtesy.
		These laws are called Curtesy Laws, and what they grand to surviving husband is the right to use one-third or more of his deceased wife's real property for as long as he lives.

		Maryland still uses the term "special administrator" to describe that person or entity appointed upon the petition of creditors of the decedent or other interested parties to protect and conserve the property of the estate prior to the appointment of a Personal Representative.
		Once a Personal Representative is qualified by the Orphans' Court, is issued letters and files his/her bond, title to all of the decedent's interest in real property is vested in the Personal Representative, not in the heirs or devisees.
		It does recognize the estate of tenants by the entireties and real property held in this estate by persons married to each other at the time they take title passes to the surviving spouse without the necessity of administration or the payment of state inheritance taxes.
