Book excerpt: This report makes recommendations for reform of the law and presents two draft Bills to implement the necessary changes. Firstly, The draft Inheritance and Trustees' Powers Bill includes reforms that would: ensure that where a couple are married or in a civil partnership, assets pass on intestacy to the surviving spouse in all cases where there are no children or other descendants; simplify the sharing of assets on intestacy where the deceased was survived by a spouse and children or other descendants; protect children who suffer the death of a parent from the risk of losing an inheritance from that parent in the event that they are adopted after the death; amend the legal rules which currently disadvantage unmarried fathers when a child dies intestate; remove arbitrary obstacles to family provision claims by dependants of the deceased and anyone treated by the deceased as a child of his or her family outside the context of a marriage or civil partnership; permit a claim for family provision in certain circumstances where the deceased died "domiciled" outside of England and Wales but left property and family members or dependants here; and reform trustees' statutory powers to use income and capital for the benefit of trust beneficiaries (subject to any express provisions in the trust instrument). Secondly, The draft Inheritance (Cohabitants) Bill contains further provisions that would give certain unmarried partners who have lived together for five years the right to inherit on each other's death under the intestacy rules. Where the couple have a child together, this entitlement would accrue after two years' cohabitation, provided the child was living with the couple when the deceased died.

This book was released on 2009-10-29 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, tens of thousand of people die without a will, leaving their property to be distributed according to legal rules dating back to 1925. Even if there is a will, it may not stand up to scrutiny from the courts if reasonable provision was not made for certain family members and dependants. The Law Commission examines options for reform of these rules which would safeguard the position of bereaved spouses, while taking account of the concerns of children and other relatives of the deceased. Where the deceased did not leave children or other descendants, it is proposed that a surviving spouse should inherit the whole estate. In the more complex situation where there are surviving descendants, the Law Commission seeks views from consultees on a series of options for reform. The Law Commission also wants to extend the protection of the intestacy rules to unmarried partners who have lived together for some time or have a child. Under current law, they may have to go to court to claim reasonable provision from a partner's estate, which may involve great financial and emotional cost. These reforms would bring English law into line with public attitudes, and with the law in other Commonwealth countries. Other proposed reforms would improve the rights of children who are adopted after the death of a parent, and would end the unequal treatment of half-brothers and sisters in inheritance law.

Book excerpt: While continental and comparative lawyers have recently rediscovered succession law as an area of immense practical importance deserving greater academic attention, it is still a neglected field in England. This book aims to reinvigorate the English debate. It brings together contributions by leading academics and practitioners engaging with topical issues as well as questions of fundamental importance in succession law and estate planning. The book will be of interest to both academics and practitioners working in the field, and to non-English comparative lawyers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Succession, Wills and Probate is an ideal textbook for those taking an undergraduate course in this surprisingly vibrant subject, and also provides a clear and comprehensive introduction for professionals. Against an account of the main social and political themes of succession law, the book gives detailed explanations of core topics such as alternatives to wills and the making, altering and revocation of wills. It also explains personal representatives and how they should deal with a deceased person's estate and interpret and implement the will. Gifts may fail, estates may be insolvent or a person may die intestate, without a will at all. Increasingly relatives and others seek to challenge the will, for example on the grounds of the testator's capacity or under the law of family provision. This third edition is edited, updated and revised to take account of new legislation and case law across all the relevant issues, including a new final chapter dealing with the potentially contentious issues that are becoming more central to professional work in the field of succession.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, large numbers of altruistic individuals, in the absence of any legal duty, provide substantial and essential services for elderly and disabled people. In doing so, many such informal carers suffer financial and other disadvantages. This book considers the scope for a "private law" approach to rewarding, supporting or compensating carers, an increasingly vital topic in the context of an ageing population and the need for savings in public expenditure. Adopting a comparative approach, the book explores the recognition of the informal carer and his or her relationship with the care recipient within diverse fields of private law, from unjust enrichment to succession. Aspects of the analysis include the importance of a promise of a reward from the care recipient and the appropriate measure of any remedy. In considering the potential for expansion of a "private law" approach for carers, the book addresses the fundamental and controversial question of the price of altruism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Susan Deller Ross, many human rights advocates still do not see women's rights as human rights. Yet women in many countries suffer from laws, practices, customs, and cultural and religious norms that consign them to a deeply inferior status. Advocates might conceive of human rights as involving torture, extrajudicial killings, or cruel and degrading treatment—all clearly in violation of international human rights—and think those issues irrelevant to women. Yet is female genital mutilation, practiced on millions of young girls and even infants, not a gross violation of human rights? When a family decides to murder a daughter in the name of "honor," is that not an extrajudicial killing? When a husband rapes or savagely beats his wife, knowing the legal authorities will take no action on her behalf, is that not cruel and degrading treatment? Women's Human Rights is the first human rights casebook to focus specifically on women's human rights. Rich with interdisciplinary material, the book advances the study of the deprivation and violence women suffer due to discriminatory laws, religions, and customs that deny them their most fundamental freedoms. It also provides present and future lawyers the legal tools for change, demonstrating how human rights treaties can be used to obtain new laws and court decisions that protect women against discrimination with respect to employment, land ownership, inheritance, subordination in marriage, domestic violence, female genital mutilation, polygamy, child marriage, and the denial of reproductive rights. Ross examines international and regional human rights treaties in depth, including treaty language and the jurisprudence and general interpretive guidelines developed by human rights bodies. By studying how international human rights law has been and can be implemented at the domestic level through local courts and legislatures, readers will understand how to call upon these newly articulated human rights to help bring about legislation, court decisions, and executive action that protect women from human rights violations.
