The law governing succession to property on death including the rules relating to wills, administration of assets, family provision and intestate succession. The law relating to death and the body is also part of this course. Equitable doctrines relating to the law of wills and administration of estates, including construction of wills, marshalling, satisfaction, and ademption are also studied. Emphasis is placed on Australia, but there is a significant comparative aspect to this course: Civil law systems, Aboriginal customary law and Islamic law of inheritance, inter alia. This is both an illuminating way of considering the relevant doctrines, and also is appropriate for practitioners in a multicultural country.
