Circuit Court Rules on Shenandoah Valley Bank Suit
Judge T W Harrison decides in the Shenandoah Valley National Bank vs Mrs E B Anderson case that life estates tied to a husband and wife are treated differently for creditors. The court rules that Mrs Anderson’s life interest in her husband’s property ends with her death, while the Hill yard property remaining as life estate may not be willed away without provision for debts. Mortgages on Mrs Anderson property are valid and creditors need not prove the loan was held by her. A potential question about unequal inheritance requires all parties’ consent.
