The great mobility of people and capital in the world today means that
the likelihood of a
person acquiring and dying with assets in more than one jurisdiction
is probably greater than
ever. As a result an English lawyer is now more and more likely to
encounter a multinational
estate. This book aims to examine the international aspects of
succession primarily from the
perspective of an English lawyer, but utilising in addition to English
cases and materials, cases
and materials from other common law jurisdictions, particularly
Australia, Canada and New
Zealand. The body of case law and materials from these jurisdictions
forms a valuable
resource for dealing with common problems. They also form the basis
for an evaluation of
developments in the subject generally and the possible impact of
conventions designed to
achieve uniformity in the rules of private international law relating
to succession.
This examination will be of interest to practitioners as well as to
those concerned with the
subject in an academic environment.
