Succession: Families, Property and Death is designed not only to expound succession law in Australia as it is, including the recognition, if at all, of Aboriginal customary law, but also to consider the law in its national and international setting by considering rules of private international law; to reveal how it has developed by taking an historical focus; to consider the objectives sought to be satisfied by succession law as a basis of understanding and for the evaluation of existing rules; and to consider some comparative approaches to the problems of inheritance.

As a teaching tool, it extracts cases at length rather than in small pieces to enable students to develop a sense of the forms of judicial argument which are used in succession law, allowing for a deeper analysis of the judgments than has traditionally been possible.

As a practitioner resource, this text also covers comprehensively and critically such bread-and-butter topics of a succession lawyer as formal validity of a will, challenges to that validity, dispensing with formal requirements for a will, rectification, and claims for a family provision order.
