Research Agenda for Succession Law (en Inglés) - Brian Sloan

In this highly informative book leading international scholars consider the potential avenues for future research on succession law. They examine the response of researchers to societal developments such as ageing populations, technological developments and changing family forms.

The extent to which succession law serves its most important functions, from testamentary freedom to the provision of clarity, is a core question for this book. Against that backdrop the authors explore key topics that are expected to occupy scholars, including electronic wills, disinheritance, intestate succession, aboriginal inheritance and modern funerals. Using a diverse range of research methods, contributors consider how research in succession law will evolve in the changing economic and social world order.

A Research Agenda for Succession Law is a valuable resource for scholars of succession, property and family law. It will also be beneficial for policymakers, practitioners and judges working in succession law.
