Entry documentation relating to escheats, [ca. 1901-1903]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82513479

This series consists of correspondence, rent receipts, and repair, improvement, and maintenance bills relating to the rental of escheated property. Legislation of 1875 provided that when the title to property failed from defect or lack of heirs, the land then reverted, or escheated, to the people of the state. The state then appointed temporary administrators, often local judges, to supervise the rental and maintenance of the property until possible heirs could be identified, or other disposition of the land. The bulk of the entry documentation in this series is for the John E. Harrington estate in Ulster County and the William Kinelly estate in Brooklyn.
