Based on the foundations of Judge Steyn's "Law of Wills in South Africa", the book covers the existing law and, where comparisons appear fruitful, it has drawn on the wisdom of other legal systems. The law of succession is covered in its entirety and the work includes a chapter on the principles of intestate succession and an appendix on the conflict of laws.
