Full Description
This new edition has been extended to include chapters on the Czech Republic, Gibraltar, Indonesia, Luxembourg, and the Phillipines, making this the most comprehensive analysis of succession laws available.
Each country analysis is based on a similar set of questions to ensure that all issues are tackled for every jurisdiction and to enable the reader to make easy comparisons between the countries included. The questionnaire has been updated to include a new section on challenges to an administrator's decision, and extends the section on inheritance orders to address the interaction of trusts and forced heirship. The book also considers the law at regional level in the European Union explaining the effect of recent EU legislation with regard to harmonization, and considering the impact of the European Succession Regulation post-implementation.
Now covering 56 jurisdictions, this work is an invaluable reference source for those advising on matters of international succession, especially in cases where there are cross-border elements.
