WELL -- NOT YET. MEANTIME, PRACTITIONERS IN THIS AREA SHOULD READ THE NEW EDITION OF THIS GUIDE An appreciation by Elizabeth Robson Taylor MA of Richmond Green Chambers and Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers, Reviews Editor, ‘The Barrister’ and Mediator _________________________________________________ Lawyers dealing with inheritance tax issues (and they are out there aplenty) would be wise to acquire this long established and eminently useful title -- now in a new and extensively updated. fourth edition from Wildy, Simmonds, and Hill. The author -- Her Honour, Nasreen Peace -- is a retired judge, well known to the Bar and Wildy, and particularly expert in this challenging, controversial area of law. The guide therefore offers practitioners a detailed and authoritative guide to the provisions of the Inheritance (Provisions for Family and Dependence) Act 1975, with reference to subsequent and recent legislation which is discussed and analysed in detail. The Act itself, as the author points out ‘has been amended over the years to meet the needs of an ever-changing global society,’ notably the now varied forms of family and the extension of the non-traditional family -- a prime example of this being same sex relationships. Usefully, the book provides a step-by-step guide to the preparation of cases under the Act and the practice and procedure required to process an application through the courts. The book deals with every conceivable aspect of this complicated area of law which, to the advantage of the practitioner, delivers informed comment, as well as fascinating reading, supported throughout by a wealth of references to cases. Also contained in this updated edition are detailed discussions of a range of issues that have relatively recently emerged: crypto-currencies and crypto-assets, for example and the increasing importance of -- and often the necessity for -- negotiation and mediation. With its detailed index and table of contents -- and of course, numbered paragraphs throughout -- the book is easily navigable as are all Wildy guides. Note the tables of statutory instruments, guides, codes of practice and international materials. All but one of its thirteen chapters feature an introduction and the chapters themselves cover every relevant aspect of this minutely detailed legal landscape which, more often than not, demands an erudite, precise, and yet sensitive approach to sensitive and often complicated issues, such as -- for example -- domicile, time limits, eligibility, grounds for making a claim and so forth. Note too, the three appendices which include legislation, precedents, and practice guidance. Comprehensive and practical, this authoritative legal text has long been regarded as an essential purchase for practitioners involved in this particularly challenging area of law. The date of publication of this hardback fourth edition from Wildy is cited as 7th July 2023.
