Family and succession law are tightly bound together. Succession law is
usually based on kindred relationships as established by family law. The
trends established in the marital property laws and succession laws are often
a result of developments in family law.
Equality of spouses and of all children, regardless of their descent, is not
without consequences for marital property laws and succession law. Therefore,
this comprehensive comparative looseleaf set covers family law together with
marital property law and succession law.
In addition to the national monographs that follow the outline below, this
subset of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws currently includes a
monograph for the European Union. Forthcoming supplements will include
international monographs describing the activities of several international
organizations in the domain of family and succession law, such as the United
Nations, the Council of Europe, and the International Commission on Civil
Status.
This set is primarily intended for judges, notaries, lawyers, and registrars
of civil status who find themselves having to apply foreign laws as a result
of applicable law rules of international private law. However, it is also of
great value to academics and researchers, for whom it stimulates comparative
studies by providing the necessary basic materials of family and succession
law.
