Succession Amendment (Intestacy) Act 2009
The Succession Amendment (Intestacy) Act 2009 commenced on 1 March 2010.
To assist practitioners to understand the far-reaching changes that have been made to intestacy law, the Elder Law & Succession Committee has produced a publication entitled, The Succession Amendment (Intestacy) Act 2009: A Commentary.
