Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claiming a Promised Inheritance examines those cases where a person is promised a future inheritance and, having acted on it, later discovers that the promise is unfulfilled. The book structures its analysis and argument around the stories of disappointed promisees and their unfulfilled expectations of a future inheritance, and how they might seek redress. It maps and compares the various, and often very diverse range of legal responses that a promisee can avail herself of across different legal areas of the law (ranging from contract law to property law, employment law, unjust and unjustified enrichment law, and succession law) and in both common and civil law traditions. Braun asks how these responses protect the interests of promisees and whether they are sensitive to the context in which such promises are expressed. In doing so, the focus rests on the level of protection the various forms of redress grant, their scope, and the challenges promisees face when brining a claim, but also on the values and interests that are at stake when granting relief. This book argues that due to the social and legal context within which promises of a future inheritance are normally made, promisees are usually in a vulnerable position that can easily by exploited. It further argues that the law is usually more acutely attuned to the risks that the promisor incurs and that greater attention should be paid to the challenges promisees face. Claiming a Promised Inheritance thus complements the traditional viewpoint by bringing into focus the (too often ignored) perspective of promisees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A.B. Simpson uses two Old Testament examples in The Land of Promise to show the Christian that the path to sanctification is invariably full of pitfalls and that the final journey is our worth the struggle to claim the inheritance. The Land of Promise both guides and gives hope for that which is yet to come for the Christian as A.B. Simpson helps us to understand the blueprint for our life of faith. A.B. Simpson uses The Land of Promise as an attempt to open the eyes of the follower to see that God has a whole plan for them for them already laid out. The church needs to understand that its eyes need opened. And that the Lord is to be asked for our full rights to redemption in Christ. Each chapter in the book The Land of Promise describes a phrase in the process of claiming our Christian heritage using Moses and Joshua as examples from their looking over to their entering into and taking possession of the land of Canaan. A.B. Simpson, once again uses metaphor and example of biblical imagery to take us into a heavenly discussion of sanctification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all hope that we will be cared for as we age. But the details of that care, for caretaker and recipient alike, raise some of life’s most vexing questions. From the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, as an explosive economy and shifting social opportunities drew the young away from home, the elderly used promises of inheritance to keep children at their side. Hendrik Hartog tells the riveting, heartbreaking stories of how families fought over the work of care and its compensation. Someday All This Will Be Yours narrates the legal and emotional strategies mobilized by older people, and explores the ambivalences of family members as they struggled with expectations of love and duty. Court cases offer an extraordinary glimpse of the mundane, painful, and intimate predicaments of family life. They reveal what it meant to be old without the pensions, Social Security, and nursing homes that now do much of the work of serving the elderly. From demented grandparents to fickle fathers, from litigious sons to grateful daughters, Hartog guides us into a world of disputed promises and broken hearts, and helps us feel the terrible tangle of love and commitments and money. From one of the bedrocks of the human condition—the tension between the infirmities of the elderly and the longings of the young—emerges a pioneering work of exploration into the darker recesses of family life. Ultimately, Hartog forces us to reflect on what we owe and are owed as members of a family.
