This involves the requirements for making and drafting a valid will, factors which may render a will invalid, the revocation of wills, statutory provisions relating to the distribution of intestate property and the procedures for obtaining grants of representation for the administration of deceased estates. Students will also consider the categories of persons who may make an application for provision against the estate of a deceased person where the applicant receives no or inadequate provision from the estate.
