law, E. C. Elliott of the New Bern
VA Office said veterans and wid
ows who have made up their minds
to elect provisions of the new law
would^ probably find it advanta
geous' to notify VA of their de
cision without much delay.
By so doing, they can avoid be
ing caught in a- last-minute rush
or bottle neck which might develop
in die last few- weeks before the
- effective date. Elliott advised.
Those who notify VA of their de
cisions to change from terms of
the old pension law to the new one
in advance of the July 1 date will
be abe to have the change effected
• .as soon as applicable. Those who
notify VA of desire to change to
1 will receive new pension pay
ments as of the date VA is noti
fied. The payments in such cases
will not be dated back to July 1,
Mr. Elliott warned. A certain
hesitancy on the part of persons
receiving veteran’s pensions to
notifyf VA of desire to change to
the new system has been noted
by VA officials. Mr. Elliott skid
that much of the hesitancy may be
due to uncertainty of the pensions
as to what the future may hold in
store for them in the way of in
creased income, including social
from non-VA sources. Others may
be puzzled about the differences
between the terms of the new law
a&d dm old law, even after reading
the pamphlet which VA has mailed
to all pensioners. Their questions
will be readily answered and help
offered by the Contact Represen
tative at the New Bern VA Of
fice. However, VA cannot make the
decision for a veteran or veteran’s
widow on coming under the new
security or retirement

TENANTS IN COMMON
Three brothers, all of adult age,
inherit real property in equal
shares from their father. One of
the brothers wants to sell his in

do not want to do so. What can the
one brother do?

herited (property as “tenants in
common.” Any one of the three can
selThis one-third interest to whom
soever he desires without the con
sent of the others.
If he cannot find a purchaser of
his one-third interest in the whole,
he may petition the superior court
for a partition of the property. The
superior court then will appoint
three disinterested commissioners
to divide and apportion the real
property among the three co-own
ers. Where necessary and in order
to make an equitable partition, the
commissioners may charge a more
valuable tract of land with a sum
of money to be paid to the person
receiving a tract of land of inferior
value.
Where the inherited property
is a single house or building, or
other, type of property that can
not be actually divided satisfac
torily, the court may order a sale
of the entire property and a divi
sion of the proceeds among the
several co-owners.

respective values. In this case, the
three brothers bear equally the ex

Joe Smith and Henry Brown,
