Appropriation of Collateral Successions
Supply – a new species proposed
Insurer

Appropriation of remote collateral successions –
– Extension of the Law of Escheat –: or Establishment
of a rule of succession in virtue of
which property of every denomination shall lapse,
in default of near relations, to the national stock.

The appellation of near relations may might be
confined in this view to the following persons.

1. Husband or Wife of the deceased.
2. Children and their dependants ad infinitum
3. Brothers and Sisters and their descendants ad infinitum.
4. Father and Mother and other relations in the ascending
line ad infinitum. This last class to
have only the interest for life of the capital produced
by sale of the estate.

Should the right of disposing by will be admitted
to supersede in this instance the general
disposition of the law? It ought at least as to a
share: say a third or even a half.

Cutting off this right in toto would be productive
of the following inconveniences.

1. It would be a discouragement to industry: by putting
it out of a man's power to impart any share
& the fruits of it to those who are dear to him after his death.
