Q. A husband comes home
from work and found his home
completely empty of household
furnishings-. His wife had gone
to another State to live. Before
leaving, she moved furnishings
to her mother’s home. Her
mother then sold the furniture
and sent the money to her
daughter. What legal action, if
any, can husband take against
wife and mother-m-law?
W J..L.
I ' "I'W ~¥T-1 " f
A. After divorce, husband can
bring Bill in Equity for- ac
counting of any property jointly
held of which wife has taken
possession. Husband can also
sue mother-in-law for fraudulent
conversion of personal property.
Q. If a woman owns property
before she marries, does her
husband have any equity in her
property? Can she sell her
♦ * *
property without the consent of
her husband 9 If so, can she ob
tain clear title 9 .
A. If a woman owns property
before she marries, her hus
band does~ not acquire any
“equity” in her property as a
result of their marriage His
interest is what is referred to as
a “courtesy” interest After her
marriage, a married woman can
not convey clear title to her
separate property without her
husband joining in the deed.
Q. Three years' ago I rented
the house that I am now living
in About a year and a half ago
my landlady put in a water
meter. I have a rent book and
there is nothing in it that says I
must pay for the water bills.
About two weeks ago she
brought a water bill to me and
told me I must pay it The bill
was in my name from the Water
Department Do I have to pay
the bill or does the person who
owns the house have to pay it’
Was she allowed to use my name
in having the meter installed or
is that illegal’
A If you have a written lease
the question of your liability for
water rent may be provided for
in the lease. If you have no
written lease and merely a ver
bal lease on a month to month
basis, there would be nothing
to prevent vour landlady from
insisting that the lease be re
vised to require you to pay for
the water you consume. Whether
you are personally liable to the
Water Department for the water
which you have actually con
sumed would depend upon
whether there is an ordinance
in your community imposing
such personal liability upon the
actual consumers of the water.
Q What property owner is re
sponsible for building a retainin' 1
wall’ The lower or the uohill
property owner? J Z.
A The answer to vour Question
deoends upon the particular cir
cumstances. For proper legal ad
vice to be given it would be
necessary to know the puroose
for which the retaining wall is
to he built, what each owner has
done to his own property to
necessitate the construction of
the walls and, perhaps, whether,
the land is in a rural or urban]
location Generally, the property \
bwner does something on his own 1
land which is likely to result in
injury to the land of his neigh
bor is responsible for the build
ing of a retaining wall.
