Currie on Confirmation of Executors (9th ed)

There has been what is referred to as a “sexual revolution” in executry practice in recent years. The law now recognises civil partnerships for succession. It also now affords some financial protection for a cohabitee on the death of his or her partner. The rights of the test tube baby have been addressed. All have effects on succession and the confirmation process. The law relating to adult incapacity has also seen wholesale changes with the introduction of the continuing attorney, the financial guardian and the holder of an intervention order. This edition reports on the developing practice in relation to obtaining confirmation where an incapax is the executor. It is simple to see the absolute necessity for this new 9th edition of Currie on Confirmation of Executors.
