Escheator
|
|
EscheatorThe name of an officer whose duties are generally to ascertain what escheats have taken place, and to prosecute the claim of the commonwealth for the purpose of recovering the escheated property.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Name
One or more words used to distinguish a particular individual, as Socrates, Benjamin Franklin.
Duties
In its most enlarged sense, this word is nearly equivalent to taxes, embracing all impositions or charges levied on persons or things; in its more restrained sense, it is often used as equivalent to customs or imposts.
Place
Pleading, evidence. A particular portion of space; locality.
Prosecute
To bring judicial proceedings against a person and to administer them until the conclusion of the court proceedings. Lawyers are hired by the government to administer the prosecution of criminal charges in the courts.
Claim
A demand for resolution or remedy of a grievance, or for something that is rightly the claimant's. Example: A demand for payment to recover a loss protected by an insurance policy. A demand in a court of law filed by a claimant on any juridical issue he / she considers.
Commonwealth
Government. A commonwealth is properly a free state, or republic, having a popular or representative government.
Property
Property is commonly thought of as a thing which belongs to someone and over which a person has total control. But, legally, it is more properly defined as a collection of legal rights over a thing. These rights are usually total and fully enforceable by the state or the owner against others. It has been said that "property and law were born and die together. Before laws were made there was no property. Take away laws and property ceases." before laws were written and enforced, property had no relevance. Possession was all that mattered. There are many classifications of property, the most common being between real property or immoveable property (real estate such as land or buildings) and "chattel", or "moveable" (things which are not attached to the land such as a bicycle, a car or a hammer) and between public (property belonging to everybody or to the state) and private property.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Escheat
Where property is returned to the government upon the death of the owner, because there is nobody to inherit the property. Escheat is based on the Latin principle of dominion directum as was often used in the feudal system when a tenant died without heirs or if the tenant was convicted of a felony.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------

Error, writ
A writ of error is one issued fro a superior to an inferior court, for the purpose of bringing up the record and correcting an alleged error committed in the trial in the court below. But it cannot deliver the body from prison.

Escape hatches permit a choice of law rule or choice of law presumption to be circumvented when it is clear that the law chosen has only a slight connection to the facts of the case and another law has a much closer connection.
