Review Of The Law Of Succession

While continental and comparative lawyers have recently rediscovered succession law as an area of immense practical importance deserving greater academic attention, it is still a neglected field in England. This book aims to reinvigorate the English debate. It brings together contributions by leading academics and practitioners engaging with topical issues as well as questions of fundamental importance in succession law and estate planning. The book will be of interest to both academics and practitioners working in the field, and to non-English comparative lawyers.

The law of succession is covered in its entirety and the work includes a chapter on the principles of intestate succession and an appendix on the conflict of laws.

This volume explores key issues in the law of succession from a variety of perspectives: national, historical and comparative.
