The Law of Succession in South Africa

This work is the undisputed authority in its field. In the two decades since it was first published in 1980, two supplements were produced to update the contents. The long-awaited second edition incorporates the important legislation relating to wills and intestate succession enacted over the last twenty years, and takes note of significant judgments and new literature on the subject. It reflects the law as at 1 June 2001. Authored by a former Chief Justice of South Africa, a practising senior counsel and an eminent academic, The Law of Succession in South Africa draws on an unusually wide range of legal experiences. It should form part of every law library. Indispensable work of reference. Comprehensive discussion of all aspects of the law of succession. Includes chapters on litigation in succession matters. Deals with the conflict of laws.
