Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Wills, Vol. 3: Including Also Gifts Causa and a by Summary of the Law of Descent, Distribution and Administration In discussing questions on which the statutes differ an attempt has been made to indicate what the statute of each state is, citing the latest compilation, and arranging the states by groups and in alphabetical order. Likewise, in considering the questions on which the courts are not agreed, the states have been tabulated in alphabetical order, and reference made to the principal and the latest decision in each state where decisions on the question are found. It is due my excellent friend, Professor Floyd R. Mech em, to say, that he encouraged me to undertake the pres ent work, often materially aided me in the execution of it, gave me free use of the material prepared by him while teaching these subjects at the University of Michi gan (much of which I have used), and that his scheme of treatment has been substantially followed throughout.
