Details

This text provides a clear comprehensive exposition of the law of succession in Scotland. It offers a straightforward approach to this often confusing area of law and includes commentary on the background and possible difficulties of interpretation of the rules of succession.

Since neither statute nor case law provides complete answers to many of the questions commonly arising, this book assists both students and practitioners in the logical working through of solutions by emphasising the principled system of rules and presumptions of law governing succession.

Helpful examples and illustrations are provided throughout and succession is placed in its broader context of property law, family law and trusts. As well as updated case law and statutory elements, this edition takes account of recent legislation including the Succession (Scotland) Act 2016 and the Trusts and Succession (Scotland) Act 2024 as well as commentary on the attempted reforms of intestate succession in Scotland.
