Description

The course considers a range of aspects of the impact of death on families and the passing of property. It focuses on general aspects of the law of succession and considers the way in which succession law reflects the society from which it comes, comparative treatment of inheritance law (civil systems, Islamic law, Talmudic law and Aboriginal customary law); the passing of property in the absence of a will, and a range of issues concerning the treatment of the body after death. The course does not include a detailed treatment of the law of wills.
