Estates of Deceased Persons (Forfeiture Rule and Law of Succession) Act 2011
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This Act changes the rules about who can inherit money and property from a dead person. Mainly, it says that if someone was partly responsible for the person's death but didn't mean to do it, they can still inherit, whereas old rules would have stopped them completely. It also updates other inheritance laws to be clearer and fairer.
