Textbook on succession

J. A. Borkowski

"The law of succession is of fundamental interest to us all. When someone dies their property is distributed in accordance with their will or the rules of intestacy - the cornerstone of the law of succession. The interplay between the wishes of testators and the expectations of family and friends produces a subject of compelling human interest." "The new edition of Textbook on Succession dispels the notion of succession as a 'dry' subject. Central issues such as the limits of testamentary freedom and the rights of spouses and children on intestacy are raised in lucid and accessible discussion. The author gives substantial attention to the rich case law on the subject, and all the major topics are covered, including the administration of estates. Textbook on Succession will be essential reading for all students studying wills, intestacy and succession on law degree or vocational courses."--BOOK JACKET.
