Written by one of the leading experts in the field, the aim of this book is to make it as accessible as possible in assisting solicitors, barristers and judges alike. The Succession Act has long acted as a weathervane of social change in Ireland, taking into account changes such as the status of illegitimacy and the introduction of divorce.

Each section of the 1965 Act (as amended) is set out in full, and followed by a detailed narrative commentary which explains the sections and examines how they have been interpreted by the courts. Up-to-date appendices contain the relevant Probate Office and Superior Court forms and the sixth edition includes discussion around the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015 and the implication for costs in probate cases.

Covers the following important cases:

- Naylor v Maher [2018] IECA 32
- K v K [2018] IEHC 615
- GS v MB [2022] IEHC 65
