The law of succession is not only concerned with determining the recipients of a deceased's persons assets, but also with implementing the envisaged order of distribution. In his historical and comparative analysis of the »how« of succession law, Jan Peter Schmidt reveals the underlying structures and policy issues. Hereby, he enables new perspectives on the national regimes and shows possibilities for reform.
