The fourth edition of The Law of Succession in New South Wales provides an up to date coverage of the subject, including the recent legislative changes related to the Uniform Succession Law project. Succession affects each of us personally and is therefore of great practical importance. The object of this book, like its previous editions, is to provide a basic manual for students undertaking Succession Law and practitioners working in the field. The chapters in the book are organised in the order in which the material is relevant in dealing with testamentary matters. It commences with a general discussion of the development and nature of the subject and briefly refers to transnational considerations which are becoming increasingly common with globalisation. The text then discusses intestacy, the law of wills, family provision, and finally the administration of deceased estates. The Law of Succession in New South Wales continues to offer a thorough and concise treatment of the subject matter for the benefit of students and practitioners alike.
