COOLEY LECTURES:
Siimes Deplores Spouse Disinheritance
Adequate legal provision should
prevent the "disinheritance of a
wife or husband by the spouse, ac-
cording to Prof. Lewis M. Simes of
the Law School.-
In the first of this year's annual
Thomas M. Cooley Lectures yes-
terday, Prof. Simes outlined his
views on disinheritance in the im-
mediate family.
Should Leave Fair Share
He said that he believes that
each spouse should be required to
leave a "fair share" of his estate
to his marriage partner, because of
the close family relationship.
Under present Michigan law, the
wife can contest her husband's will
if she has been ignored, but the
husband has no chance of having

his wife's will altered. In New
York, alteration in either case is
possible.
Prof. Simes suggested that ade-
quate protection should be avail-
able to each of the parties. He
noted that "Persons making wills
frequently become estranged from
their lives and leave them little or
their spouses in the later years of
nothing by will."

should apply to children. "While
I think that it may fairly be said
that an American father rarely
disinherits a child unless he has
good reason . . . I believe that
the child should be permitted to
take action against his parent's
will when he is unable to provide
for his own maintenance and edu-
cation, but only in the amount
necessary for those purposes."
Four More Lectures
He also said that gifts before
death which were mere evasions
of the law should be treated as
part of the entire estate when the
person dies.
Four more lectures are scheduled
as a part of the series. At 4:15
p.m. today Prof. Simes will discuss
"The Public Policy against Per-
petuities: Dead Hand vs. Aliena-
bility" in Rm. 120, Hutchins Hall.
The remaining lectures are
scheduled for Wednesday, Monday
and Tuesday.
