This Is The Law John Jones executed a will in which he left all of his property to his wife. At the time of the execution of the will he had one child. Subsequently another child was born to his wife. Who inherits the estate of John Jones? The widow gets two ? thirds of his estate and the child born after the execution of the will gets the remaining one ? third. The child born at the time of the execution of the will gets nothing. A North Carolina statute says that "an after - born or after - adopted child shall be entitled to share in testator's estate as it would be entitled to if the testator had died intestate." If John Jones had died without a will, his widow would have taken one ? third of the estate and the remaining two ? thirds would have been divided equally. The widow would have acquired the entire estate if Jones had executed a new will subsequent to the birth of his last child or if he had expressly stated in his original will that he was not making any provision for his children, both born or after - born, or if he had left some nominal sum, such as one dollar, to all of his children, both born and after - born. Richard Roe executes a will in 1969 leaving his farm "Blackacre" to Tom Taylor and all of his stocks and bonds to Sally Smith. In 1969 his stocks and bonds had a value of $5,000 and his farm Blackacre was worth $100,000. The farm was sold in 1970 for $110,000 and the proceeds were invested in stocks and bonds. Roe died in 1971. What, if anything, does Taylor acquire under the will of Roe? Nothing. What has occurred is the equivalent of a revocation of the devise of the farm to Taylor. Sally Smith's legacy has been greatly enriched. Harsh results frequently occur as a consequence of a testator's will not being kept up - to - date. British Invent Khaki Uniforms WASHINGTON (ANF) ? Khakia were first worn by British troops in India dur ing: the Afghan War (1878 79). The word "khald" means "dust colored."

Madison, commissioner of the Department of Juvenile Correction, delivered the commencement address at eighth grade graduation ceremonies at Samuel Leonard School last Sunday. NCSU Man Cites Beet Opportunity The future role of North Carolina farmers as beef producers continues to look good, particularly in the area of stocker cattle production. This is the opinion of North Carolina State University extension livestock specialist, J.S. Buchanan. "The future for expanding stocker cattle production in North Carolina on a sound and profitable basis looks good," Buchanan said. "There seems to be a limited supply and strong demand for these cattle each spring." Stockers are calves usually in the 400 to 600 - pound weight range or heavier that have been wintered on silage, crop gleanings and other inexpensive feedstuffs. They are marketed in the spring to go on summer pasture or into feedlots. Many North Carolina stockers go to highland summer pasture in Western North Carolina and Virginia and then on to feedlots for feeding out to slaughter weight. Buchanan cited the results of the graded stocker sales completed in April as one reason for his optimism about the future of stocker production in the state. Some 7,644 head were sold for SI.3 million. The average was S31.27 per hundredweight and SI66.77 per head. The average weight was 533 pounds. The specialist explained that price per hundredweight was down $2.17 from 1970 sales and attributed much of the difference to "short" grade cattle having been included in the '71 average but not in the '70 figures. Fifty - nine percent of the Tar Heel stockers graded good or better, about the same as last year. The per - head average on steers was S 198.38 for the good and choice grades, S165.62 for mediums and SI42.85 for commons. The heifer averages were Si49.80 for good and choice, $124.48 for mediums and SI07.48 for commons. School Looks For Magazine J.W.
