The Law of Succession in South Africa, Fourth Edition, offers a clear, comprehensive and applied introduction to the general principles of the law of succession, including principles of customary law. The text offers a conceptual and enquiring approach, and a pedagogical framework that supports independent critical and reflective engagement with the subject matter. The fourth edition text is revised and updated to address the developments in case law, and amendments to relevant legislation, that have occurred since the publication of the previous edition of this work. Revised and expanded class presentation and assessment materials are available to support teaching and effective learning.
