Succession to Hereditary Peerages and Estates Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would change the laws about how hereditary peerages (noble titles) and large estates (property and land) are passed down through families. Currently, these are usually inherited in a specific way (often to the oldest son), but this bill would alter those succession rules.

Presented by Mary Macleod.
