Succession: Commentary and Materials, 6th Edition is a comprehensive collection of cases, statutes and other materials on the law of succession in New South Wales, linked together by analytical and insightful commentary.

This edition has been revisited throughout and deals with the basic provisions of the Succession Act 2006 (NSW), which conforms to the national uniform approach to succession law. It includes succinct extracts of the major cases dealing with the basic principles involved in the laws of succession.

Succession: Commentary and Materials, 6th Edition continues to draw on the historical roots of the law of succession and applies those rules to the needs of the modern family. It has been written with students in mind, to be used in conjunction with Certoma’s The Law of Succession in New South Wales, 4th Edition. It has a practical focus and is a thorough yet concise examination of the materials essential to the study and practise of succession law.
