Details

The law and procedure relating to the estate and affairs of a missing person is complex, and the subject matter is tragic. Missing people leave behind both their own estates and estates in which they have an interest. A Practical Guide to Missing Persons and the Administration of Estates is the first comprehensive guide to a subject which is only briefly touched upon by other texts, despite specific legal and procedural complexities.

This book takes the reader through the relevant legal principles using clear and simple language, including all the latest developments and case law. It provides a step-by-step guide through the applications required, as well as the practical steps to take before and after making an application. It is essential reading for anyone – lawyer or layperson – who finds themselves dealing with the estate of a missing person or involving a missing person.

A Practical Guide to Missing Persons and the Administration of Estates features a foreword from His Honour Judge Paul Matthews.
