The Law of Succession-ONLINE

 

The Law of Succession is concerned with the law of wills and the administration of deceased estates.  The applicable principles vary depending upon whether the deceased dies with or without a will. In both cases however, the distribution of the estate may also be affected by a claim for family provision brought by those who are not named in the will under statute law.
