This book presents a broad overview of succession law, encompassing
aspects of family law, testamentary law and legal history. It
examines society and legal practice in Europe from the Middle Ages
to the present from both a legal and a sociological perspective.
The contributing authors investigate various aspects of succession
law that have not yet been thoroughly examined by legal historians,
and in doing so they not only add to our knowledge of past
succession law but also provide a valuable key to interpreting and
understanding current European succession law. Readers can explore
such issues as the importance of a father's permission to marry in
relation to disinheritance, as well as inheritance transactions and
private, dynastic and cross-border successions. Further themes
addressed by the expert contributors include women's inheritance
rights, the laws of succession for the prince in legal consulting,
and succession in the Rota Romana's jurisprudence.
The Law of Wills, Second Edition, is a comprehensive and in-depth
account of the law of wills, including the procedures and practices
required in the making of a will. Comprehensively revised since the
first edition and with the inclusion of useful precedents this book
will be an essential tool for every solicitor dealing with and
advising on wills. Since the first edition various Act of the
Oireachtas have been passed that impinge on the law of wills and
the making of wills, such as the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform
Act 2009, Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of
Cohabitants Act 2010, Charities Act 2009 and Finance Act 2010, and
also Statutory Instruments, Case Law and Probate Office Updates.
The Law of Wills, Second Edition, adopts a unique three-stage
approach to the making of wills. The first stage involves the
taking of instructions by the testator's solicitor for the
preparation of his or her will. The second stage involves the
preparation of the will in accordance with the information provided
by the testator in the instructions sheet; wills precedents may be
used as guidelines when translating the testator's wishes into the
language of wills. The third stage involves the knowledge and
approval by the testator of contents of his or her will followed by
the execution of the will in accordance with s.78 of the Succession
Act 1965. The Law of Wills, Second Edition, also considers in depth
applications for grants of probate by executors, and the
administration and distribution of a deceased's estate. It also
deals with probate actions challenging the validity of wills,
administration actions by beneficiaries regarding their rights and
interests in wills, s 117 applications by children of a testator
for proper provisions out of the deceased's estate, construction
suits to interpret provisions of a will, and equitable claims that
may be brought against the estate in the form of proprietary
estoppel or remedial constructive trusts.

The fourth edition of A Practitioner's Guide to Probate and the
Administration of Estates is a practical and comprehensive guide to
all forms of non-contentious probate applications, completion of
Inheritance Tax Accounts and the administration of estates. The
book is packed with hints and tips and an accompanying CD-ROM

practitioners to adapt precedents for their own use. The authors

instructions to the final distribution of the estate and closing
the file. The book opens with advice on meeting the client and
taking proper instructions; moving on to tracking down the assets
and liabilities which comprise the estate; completing inheritance
tax forms and obtaining any available reliefs and allowances;
questions concerning wills and intestacies; applying to the probate
registries; discretionary orders; obtaining grants of
representation; collecting in the paying debts and liabilities;
identifying the beneficiaries and paying the legacies; finalising
the tax situation; and distributing the residue of the estate. This
new edition has been completely revised with practice and procedure

This book is one of the first to link company law to the law of
succession by concentrating on family businesses. It shows that, to
understand the legal framework underlying the daily operations of
family businesses, one needs legal analysis, empirical data,
psychological and sociological knowledge. The book works on the
premise that, since many businesses have been founded by families,
practitioners need to develop an understanding of the legal
background of such businesses and build up experience to be able to
create contracts, trusts, foundations and other legal mechanisms to
give shape to systems and procedures for the transfer of shares and
control within the family. Comparing the national legal order,
techniques, and mechanisms in a range of countries, the book
examines parallel developments in these fields of law across the
world. Finally, it demonstrates the room for companies,
shareholders and the members of a family to develop individual
solutions within the legal framework for transferring businesses
and shares to the next generation.
Hierdie is die vyfde uitgawe van die boek wat vir die eerste keer
in 1992 as 'n relatief bondige teks, spesifiek gemik op studente in
die erfreg, verskyn het. Die boek het egter deur sy opeenvolgende
uitgawes tot 'n meer algemene bron vir die Suid-Afrikaanse erfreg
ontwikkel. Tog is dit deur sy aanslag, aanbiedingswyse en
sistematiek steeds ideaal om ook as handboek in erfregkursusse
gebruik te word. Die huidige weergawe poog weereens om aan die
leser 'n omvattende oorsig oor die verskillende fasette van die
erfreg te gee, met inagneming van die jongste ontwikkelings wat
hierdie regsgebied beinvloed het.
Your Will CAN be Simple to Prepare - Even for Complex Families and

secure after you're gone - that just getting started can feel
intimidating. Expert Will writer, Rachael Rodgers, really knows how
to simplify these matters. In this book she explains in detail the
key lessons she learnt from years of experience advising a huge
array of clients. This revised edition includes updated sections on
inheritance tax and foreign issues. So whether you're making a Will
for the first time, or want to ensure the one you have is fit for
purpose, this book which is based on UK law will explain what you
need to know - simply!
