Laundry girl to hold high title in German estate case
Germany's supreme court rules in favor of Count Erasmus Erbach and Dora Fischer in a long dispute over misalliances and entailed estates. The decision rejects aristocratic family statutes that barred descendants from inheritance due to marriage outside nobility, affirming that nobles cannot bar a legitimate offspring from succession for a misalliance. The ruling reshapes noble inheritance and may allow Dora Fischer to claim a noble title after future actions to reverse the marriage annulment.
