The fourth edition of The Law of Succession in New South Wales provides an up to date coverage of the subject, including the recent legislative changes related to the Uniform Succession Law project. Succession affects each of us personally and is therefore of great practical importance. The object of this book, like its previous editions, is to provide a basic manual for students undertaking Succession Law and practitioners working in the field. The chapters in the book are organised in the order in which the material is relevant in dealing with testamentary matters. It commences with a general discussion of the development and nature of the subject and briefly refers to transnational considerations which are becoming increasingly common with globalisation. The text then discusses intestacy, the law of wills, family provision, and finally the administration of deceased estates. The Law of Succession in New South Wales continues to offer a thorough and concise treatment of the subject matter for the benefit of students and practitioners alike.

Since its first publication in 1970, Hutley's Australian Wills Precedents has become the essential reference work on the art of will drafting in Australia. The 7th edition is much more than an 'update' of the previous edition. The whole book has been thoroughly examined and reconsidered. The text, forms and precedents have been revised and in many places rewritten and extended. New cases and statutes have been taken into account and contentious issues critically examined. The precedent for a testamentary discretionary family trust will fill a need. These trusts are very difficult to draft. The trust offered here is a flexible, middle-of-the-road, general vehicle, designed to be adaptable to the needs of clients and practitioners. It allows for income splitting and offers some asset protection. The precedent is considered and explained in the text and is accompanied by a full and detailed explanatory document to be given to clients. The new, detailed, Table of Contents is intended to be a search engine, to complement the conventional index. It is a comprehensive list of all chapter and paragraph headings, occupying many pages; it therefore offers ready access to the matters which a will drafter has to consider. A Compact Disc containing all the precedents and forms in Microsoft Word 2002 format is included.
