Estate New Hall Manor Estate

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the January 23rd, 2007

The New Hall Manor Estate is the younger of the two major housing estates named after New Hall Manor in Walmley, West Midlands. The other estate is the New Hall Estate. It was built around 2000 and half was built by one company and the other half by another. This caused one half to be called “The Grange” by locals however this is an unofficial name. It was officially named The Avenue. This half is considered the most affluent part of the estate. The houses are larger than the others and house prices can reach £750,000.

Most of the estate is built along Elm Road which then has smaller roads trailing off it. Although most of the houses are designed to a style of contemporary, countryside houses, the space between each house is narrow to meet with requirements. One design of a house can only be used 3 times on the whole estate so repeated designs are infrequent.

The back of the estate is New Hall Valley Country Park (phase 1) and has recently had an addition of playing fields. A walking trail has been added which passes through a small wooded area to Wylde Green Road.

The land on which the estate is situated on used to be farmed as a part of New Hall Farm. Some of the trees have been retained and gates which were once used to separate fields are now used in driveways as ornamental features. The barn and farmhouse were saved from demolition and have been converted into houses.

Property Propertarian

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the January 22nd, 2007

Propertarianism is the advocacy of the private individual or corporate ownership of legal, transferable, private property titles within a free market. The term was coined by Ursula K. Le Guin in her novel, The Dispossessed (1974). Some libertarian socialists use the term to refer to libertarians who support property rights in order to distinguish them from their own non-propertarian form of libertarianism. Capitalist libertarians sometimes use this label for themselves, as seen, for instance, in the novel The Probability Broach (1980), by L. Neil Smith, where the fictionalized version of the Libertarian Party is called the Propertarian Party.

Specifically, propertarianism recognizes all economically scarce goods as legitimate property. This includes “natural capital” such as land, but does not necessarily include non-scarce goods such as intellectual property (patents and copyrights.) This view is criticized by those that base property on production or use, such as libertarian socialists and geolibertarians.

Propertarianism can be “soft,” asserting that private property is morally permissible, or it can be ‘hard,’ asserting that private property is the only valid form of property.

Estate Elective share

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the January 2nd, 2007

An elective share is a term used in American law relating to inheritance, which describes a proportion of an estate which the surviving spouse of the deceased may claim in place of what they were left in the decedent’s will. It may also be called a widow’s share, statutory share or forced share.

The elective share is the modern version of the English common law concepts of dower and curtesy, both of which reserved certain portions of a decedent’s estate which were reserved for the surviving spouse, in order to prevent them from falling into poverty and becoming a burden on the community.

Currently, the amount to be reserved for a spouse is determined by the law of the state where the estate is located. In most states, the elective share is between 1/3 and 1/2 of all the property in the estate, although many states require the marriage to have lasted a certain number of years for the elective share to be claimed, or adjust the share based on the length of the marriage, and the presence of minor children. Some states also reduce the elective share if the surviving spouse is independently wealthy.

If the spouse claims the elective share, they get that amount, but nothing else from the estate. Obviously, there would be no point in seeking an elective share if the surviving spouse has already been willed more than they would receive under the statute. Furthermore, some assets held by the estate may be exempt from becoming part of the elective share, so their value is subtracted from the total value of the estate before the elective share is calculated.

Some states also permit children of the deceased to claim an elective share.

Estate Base fee

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the January 2nd, 2007

In law, a base fee is a freehold estate of inheritance which is limited or qualified by the existence of certain conditions. In modern property law the commonest example of a base fee is an estate created by a tenant in tail, not in possession, who bars the entail without the consent of the protector of the settlement. Though he bars his own issue, he cannot bar any remainder or reversion, and the estate (i.e. the base fee) thus created is determinable on the failure of his issue in tail.

An example of this kind of estate was introduced by George Eliot into the plot of Felix Holt. Another example of a base fee is an estate descendible to heirs general, but terminable on an uncertain event; for example, a grant of land to A and his heirs, tenants of the manor of Dale. The estate terminates whenever the prescribed qualification ceases. An early meaning of base fee was an estate held not by free or military service, but by base service, i.e. at the will of the lord.
