Synopsis

Forms Of Decrees In Equity, And Of Orders Connected With Them: With Practical Notes — Henry Wilmot Seton. This 19th?century, form?based reference manual guides equity practice in English courts, providing model decrees, chamber orders, and accompanying notes to show how the Court of Chancery handles settlements, dower, separate estates, guardianship, maintenance, and custody, with extensive cross?references to authorities and procedural rules. It covers two broad client groups: feme covert (married women) and infants, including post?nuptial settlements, elections between dower and settlements, and guardianship; and decrees nisi and absolute against infant defendants, investments of infant property, and ward maintenance. The work also surveys executors' and administrators' powers, legacies and distributions, trusts and settlements, land and real property matters, mortgages and foreclosures, partitions, receivers and sequestration, and litigation procedure and remedies. Entries comprise forms, orders, and notes to guide lawyers, clerks, trustees, guardians, and court officers through 19th?century equity and probate practice, with frequent statutory cross?references and interconnected topics.
