This Report focuses on two main areas: first, the distribution of
intestate estates, particularly in relation to a surviving spouse,
civil partner or cohabitant; and, secondly, the protection of close
relatives (including a surviving spouse, civil partner or
cohabitant) from disinheritance by the deceased. Although the 1990
Report ("Report on Succession (Scot Law Com No 124)", ISBN
9780102113907), made recommendations on both of these topics the
Scottish Law Commission think that it is timely to reconsider them.
This is in large part because of developments both in Scottish
society and in relevant areas of the law since 1990. For instance,
many more people are cohabiting, either in same-sex or opposite-sex
relationships. Step-families are becoming more common. People are
living much longer so that many children are middle-aged or older
when their parents die, leading to difficult questions about the
protection to be afforded to children who are adults at the time of
the parent's death. And wealth is more widely distributed,
particularly through increased ownership of heritable property. The
Report is divided into eight parts and looks in detail at the
following ares: Intestate Succession; Protection from
Disinheritance; Cohabitation; Private international law;
Testamentary documents and special destinations. There is an
introduction and an examination of other miscellaneous matters
along with a list of recommendations.
