Life Estates
Real property is given by deed
or will to Sam Smith for life
and upon his death to John
Jones. May Sam Smith sell his
life estate?
Yes. Sam Smith has interest
in the laiid which he may sell
or give by deed to another. He
does not need the consent of
John Jones to do so.
Smith is called the '’life ten
ant” a.nd Jones is called the “re
mainderman.” Jones does not
take over the occupation and
complete ownership of the land
until after the death of Smith.
If Smith should transfer his
life estate to Jones, this would
make Jones the sole and abso
lute owner before the death of
Smith.
Smith may rent the property
to another for a term of years.
But if Smith should die before
the expiration date of ihc lease,
the lease necessarily comes to

lan end on his death. The lease
of a life tenant cannot continue
after the ending of the life es
, talc out of which it is created.
1 May a life tenant give a mort
gage on his life estate?
, Yes. The mortgage, however,
iwill not be binding on the fu
ture estate of the remainder
| matt.
Must the life tenant keep the
'property repaired?
| The life tenant must keep the
j property in reasonable repair.
He must keep the buildings
| reasonably wind and water tight,
• making such ordinary rep&irs as
are necessary to prevent waste
'and decay.
, A good illustration is in the
I duty to repaint. If paint is
needed to cover the wood or
■other material to prevent de
' lehoration and decay the life
j tenant must repaint: if needed
merely to maintain appearances
and attractiveness he is under
no duty to do so.
A life tenant is not required
to make good dilapidations ex
isting when his life estate was
. created.
A life tenant's duty to make
repairs is limited to the rents
! and profits received by him from
the land, or to its fair rental
| value if he has occupied it him
jself. If he has applied all of
that income to the payment of
; taxes, interest on mortgages exr
j isting at the time of the crea
. tion of the life estate and other
necessary maintenance charges,
! including necessary repairs, the
J remainderman cannot hold him
liable for any further sum re
jquired for repairs or any of
these charges which still remain
! unpaid.
The life tenant must apply the
entire income from the property
to the payment of those charges
imposed upon him by law. ap
plying the excess income of a
particular year to make up any
deficiency left after applying the
entire income of other years.
He cannot be held personally
liable by the remainderman for
any balance still due for these
( charges after he has so applied
. the entire income.
Frankly Speaking
By Fraax Huberts
A...-,.
W. Hancll in his column of
a couple weeks ago was dis
cussing ihe difficulty of writing
as a profession. Well. I’m far
from being a professional writer,
but I do enjoy tossing off a few
thoughts and ideas on paper.
One trouble, though, is that
when you're in the mood to
write, you lack for ideas . . .
conversely ... when you have
a terrific idea, you're not in
the mood for writing. As I
write this. I'm in the former
category, in the mood to write,
but lacking for ideas. So. I
asked around. Somebody says to
write about the new airfield at
| Nags Head, somebody else sug
j gests I quote the Congressman
: from Pennsylvania who states
(and I do quote): People 'vho

fied as unemployed. Another
suggestion was that 1 write about
my trip again. It was wonder
ful. Only extra thought 1 had
was the way the so-called hill
billies of western North Carolina,
exploit the use of that word
■hillbilly, and make a handsome
living, from the naive tourists
of the big cities. Oh, 1 could, in
the course of things here, toss in
some congratulations. First, to
the Rev. MacKcnxie who was
recently married; secondly to a
gal that used to work at WCDJ.
Ida Smyer, the recipient of that
S3OO Belk scholarship. On the
subject of schools, I could edi-j
tors*lire on the resignation of I
Derwood Bray, if 1 but knew;
enough of the story. About all!
1 can say now is that it's a*
darned shame to lose a guy likej
him. I've worked fairly closely
with him on several occasions
and know the good work he's
doing. I could get back to the
subject of those that worked
with WCDJ . , , and 1 could
congratulate James Boswell, who
recently started to work with
WAVY radio in Norfolk, and. 1
could also congratulate Wayne J
Keeter. who will soon fulfill a
big ambition of his, and become
a North Carolina state trooper.!
One thing 1 was thinking about)
over the past week, was the spy |
plane incident I don't think, in $
the entire history of our great
country, we’ve ever been more!
embarrassed. Incidentally, Drew
Pearson in his columns has come!
up with some startling facts
about the whole mess. Matter
of fact I was own thinking of
running Drew Pearson for Presi
dent Oh. that brings me to the
local elections. I’ll talk to my
engineer.
Me; Tony, should 1 blab to
everyone about who I'm voting
for?.
Tony: Under the compelling
forces of the hammer and saw..
three offices are being rotated.
That was the actual conversa
tion. I’m not quite sure what 1
the answer had to do with the"
question, but I think it's to show
that with much renovation go-'
ing on at WCDJ. it proves I'm
working under slightly hazard
ous conditions and our thinking
functions are temporarily ourtta
order.
Tony: 1 don’t know.
(I had just re-asked the ortgi- ■
nal question!.
Tony; 1 don't know.
(Again I re-asked: and for the
last time).
Closing thought, is more-or-'
less a defition of the Mason-j
Dixon Line; “It’s the division,
between you-a 11 and youae-guys.” 1
