While continental and comparative lawyers have recently rediscovered succession law as an area of immense practical importance deserving greater academic attention, it is still a neglected field in England. This book aims to reinvigorate the English debate. It brings together contributions by leading academics and practitioners engaging with topical issues as well as questions of fundamental importance in succession law and estate planning. The book will be of interest to both academics and practitioners working in the field, and to non-English comparative lawyers.

BirkeHäcker is Professor of Comparative Law at the University of Oxford, Director of the Institute of European and Comparative Law, and a Professorial Fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford. Charles Mitchell is Professor of Law at University College London.
