Law Of Succession And Indian Succession Act In 2 Volume

Law of Succession & Indian Succession Act — 2 Volume Set is a practitioner-centric compendium combining doctrinal analysis with immediately usable forms and workflows. Volume I addresses testamentary instruments: capacity and execution of wills, interpretation principles, revocation, codicils, and probate practice — including drafting of probate petitions, caveats, affidavits and executor’s duties. Volume II covers intestate succession rules, distribution among heirs, letters of administration, administration with will annexed, estate accounting, testamentary guardianship, and contested succession litigation (admissions, proof of will, forgery allegations and reliefs). Both volumes include annotated leading judgments, cross-references to related statutes (transfer laws, trusts, tax notes), model documents (wills, codicils, probate petitions, letters of administration, administration accounts), checklists for compliance and timelines for estate administration. Special practical features: step-by-step probate flowcharts, sample pleadings for contesting wills, advisor’s checklist for estate planning, and a mapping table of state-specific probate rules where applicable. Designed as a complete desk resource, this two-volume set shortens research time, improves drafting accuracy and equips litigators, trustees and estate planners to manage succession matters efficiently and confidently.
