International Succession

Abstract

This book seeks to provide an easy-to-use analysis of the rules of succession applicable to particular jurisdictions and to explain how those rules inter-relate with other jurisdictions at an international level. It follows a standard format and is based upon a uniform and comprehensive questionnaire that is intended to elicit coverage of the significant issues that may arise in any particular jurisdiction. The book also provides a brief survey of the relevant local legal system, and considers variations to the local legal system when foreign elements come into play. It also delves into the effect of mutual wills, challenges to decisions taken in estate administration, and the interaction between trusts and forced heirship. Ultimately, this book highlights that it is a joint enterprise between the general editors and the contributors who have provided the chapters for each of the relevant jurisdictions.
