International Intestate Succession Laws — Another Resource

Earlier on this blog, I discussed a great source for comparing the intestate succession laws of various nations — International Succession Laws (Consultant Editors: Mark Bridges and David Way) published by Tottel Publishing.

Michael J. Higdon (Legal Writing Professor, William S. Boyd School of Law/UNLV) has recently pointed out another souce of international intestate succession laws, namely, International Succession  by Louis Garb, Union Internationale Du Notariat Latin.

Here is a description of this book:

International Succession provides clear, easy-to-use, up-to-date information on succession law in forty-four countries, including important internal variations among states or provinces where appropriate. Each country report is based on responses to a uniform and comprehensive questionnaire, so users will find it easy to make specific comparisons between the laws of one country and those of another.

Formerly published as a looseleaf publication, the work s long-established tradition of userfriendly answers to practical questions is wholeheartedly continued. The contributors are senior lawyers and well-known experts in the field in their own countries, and all have wide experience in international succession cases.

Judges, lawyers, notaries, registrars of civil status, banks, trust companies, and consular officials who find themselves having to apply foreign laws as a result of applicable law rules of international private law will find in International Succession an invaluable practical reference tool in handling the complicated differences and conflicts arising where cross border transactions occur.
