Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third volume in a series on Comparative Succession Law concerns the entitlement of family members to override the provisions of a deceased person's will to obtain money or assets (or more money or assets) from the person's estate. Some countries, notably those in the civil law tradition (such as France or Germany), confer a pre-ordained share of the deceased's estate or of its value on certain members of the deceased's family, and especially on the deceased's children and spouse. Other countries, notably those in the common law tradition (such as England, Canada, or Australia), leave the matter to the discretion of the court, the amount awarded depending primarily on financial need. Whichever form it takes, mandatory family provision is both a protection against disinheritance and also, therefore, a restriction on testamentary freedom. The volume focuses on Europe and on countries influenced by the European experience. In addition to detailed treatment of the law in Austria, England and Wales, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Scotland, and Spain, the book also has chapters on Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, the United States, Canada, the countries of Latin America, and the People's Republic of China. Some other countries are covered more briefly, and there is a separate chapter on Islamic law. The book opens with accounts of Roman law and of the law in medieval and early-modern Europe, and it concludes with a comparative assessment of the law as it is today in the countries and legal traditions surveyed in this volume.

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Family Law / Law of Succession, grade: 71%, Anglia Ruskin University, course: LLB (Hons), language: English, abstract: A testament is considered to be one of the most fundamental actions that an individual carries out, having followed the criteria to constitute valid legacies. The assumption, in England and Wales, is that the provisions will be adhered to, as they enjoy testamentary freedom. This dissertation is based on the power that one possesses over their assets and the amount of freedom they have to be able to dispose it on their death. Absolute testamentary freedom is not seen in any legal system, as it would constitute many issues. Thus, evaluating the present restrictions that occur in relation to the construction and validation of a testament, which could arise before or after the death of a testator/trix, by using Blackletter Law as the method of gaining information. An overall evaluation will consist of a brief history of testamentary freedom and how the legal system has evolved over time, with the help of reforms of legislation and case law, while discussing any further restrictions that should be made. The Scottish jurisdiction is used to compare the differences between having limitations on testamentary freedom, such as having fixed family rights over assets. One of the main focuses of this dissertation is dealing with one of the most controversial areas of Succession law, being the Inheritance (Provisions for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 and discussing the possibility of making it more stringent to be able to make a claim under this Act. As freedom of testation acts as basic right an individual possesses, this dissertation will conclude that while the present restrictions are set into place, they are reasonable and should not be further restricted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Launching a major new research project examining the principles of succession law in comparative perspective, this book discusses the formalities which the law imposes in order for a person to make a testamentary disposal of property. Among the questions considered are the following. How are wills made? What precisely are the rules - as to the signature of the testator, the use of witnesses, the need for a notary public or lawyer, and so on? Is there is a choice of will-type and, if so, which type is used most often and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each? How common is will-making or do most people die intestate? What happens if formalities are not observed? How can requirements of form be explained and justified? How did the law develop historically, what is the state of the law today, and what are the prospects for the future? The focus is on Europe, and on countries which have been influenced by the European experience. Thus in addition to giving a detailed treatment of the law in Austria, Belgium, England and Wales, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain, the book explores legal developments in Australia, New Zealand, the United States of America, and in some of the countries of Latin America with a particular emphasis on Brazil. It also includes chapters on two of the mixed jurisdictions - Scotland and South Africa - and on Islamic Law. The book opens with chapters on Roman law and on the early modern law in Europe, thus setting the historical scene as well as anticipating and complementing the accounts of national history which appear in subsequent chapters; and it concludes with an assessment of the overall development of the law in the countries surveyed, and with some wider reflections on the nature and purpose of testamentary formalities.
