Description:
Non-Contentious Probate Practice in the English-Speaking Caribbean is widely acclaimed by students and practitioners as an indispensable guide to probate practice and procedure in the Caribbean. This second edition brings the book up to date with the current law and practice by incorporating the major changes that have taken place since the book was first published in 1998. All legislative and procedural changes are dealt with, most notably the Civil Procedure Rules 2002 in Jamaica, the Supreme Court Act, Administrative of Estate Act and the Wills Act in The Bahamas and the Distribution of Estate Act in Trinidad & Tobago, all of which have had significant impact on succession practice in these territories. As before, the book covers the core areas of probate practice and provides a clear, comprehensive exposition of succession law and a practical guide to the fundamentals of probate practice and procedure.
