Since 1937, Parry & Kerridge has been a leading textbook on the law of succession, wills, and estates.
Parry and Kerridge: The Law of Succession is a leading and authoritative text on succession law, trusted by students and practitioners for over 85 years. It provides a clear and comprehensive examination of the legal principles governing the transfer of property on death, covering wills, intestacy, family provision claims, personal representatives, grants of representation, and the administration of estates.
Combining academic analysis with practical insight, the book explores the relationship between succession law and related areas such as tax, negligence, and marriage, while also addressing contemporary legal developments and reform. The latest edition includes a new chapter examining current controversies and proposed changes to succession law, including analysis of the Law Commission’s 2025 report, Modernising Wills Law, making it an invaluable guide to this evolving area of practice.
