This third volume in a series on Comparative Succession Law concerns the entitlement of family members to override the provisions of a deceased person''s will to obtain money or assets (or more money or assets) from the person''s estate. Some countries, notably those in the civil law tradition(such as France or Germany), confer a pre-ordained share of the deceased''s estate or of its value on certain members of the deceased''s family, and especially on the deceased''s children and spouse. Other countries, notably those in the common law tradition (such as England, Canada, or Australia),leave the matter to the discretion of the court, the amount awarded depending primarily on financial need. Whichever form it takes, mandatory family provision is both a protection against disinheritance and also, therefore, a restriction on testamentary freedom. The volume focuses on Europe and on countries influenced by the European experience. In addition to detailed treatment of the law in Austria, England and Wales, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Scotland, and Spain, the book also has chapters on Australia and NewZealand, South Africa, the United States, Canada, the countries of Latin America, and the People''s Republic of China. Some other countries are covered more briefly, and there is a separate chapter on Islamic law. The book opens with accounts of Roman law and of the law in medieval and early-modernEurope, and it concludes with a comparative assessment of the law as it is today in the countries and legal traditions surveyed in this volume. | Comparative Succession Law by Kenneth G.
