Motherhood ruling in real estate dispute over old Capitol home

In a Court of Appeals decision Justice Van Orsdel upheld a contract dispute involving Charlotta A. Whitney. The ruling found that a sale of the old Field home fronting the Capitol grounds could not be blocked by a remote possibility of future births to Whitney’s 70 year old mother, and refused to compel performance on a doubtful title. The case touched on life interests and anticipated inheritance, with Whitney represented by Kappler Merillet and Wilson N. Richardson.
