Prior rights and prior drafting: intestacy, the calculation of legal rights, and statutory interpretation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The author considers the calculation of legal rights in a situation of intestacy where a deceased party is survived by a spouse or a civil partner, in light of statutory intervention following the enactment of the Succession (Scotland) Act 1964. That reform may have inadvertently affected entitlements to the deceased party's estate.
