Wills Probate and Administration Law in New South Wales

Wills, Probate and Administration Law in New South Wales Second Edition provides annotated commentary on the two primary pieces of legislation which govern the passing of property on death in New South Wales: the Succession Act 2006 and the Probate and Administration Act 1898.

Since this text was last published in 1996, this area of law has undergone significant change. The legislation in relation to the making, alteration and revocation of wills, family provision and the reformed intestacy rules are now contained in the Succession Act.vThe Probate and Administration Act focuses on grants of representation and administration of estates, while the revised Probate Rules have introduced new processes and procedures.
