Commorientes – Known Unknowns Symposium Extract

This is a sample recording from one of the sessions at our research symposium in April 2021. It deals with commorientes problems – where the law must confront problems relating to (uncertainty as to) the sequence of multiple deaths. This is important, in particular, in applying the rules of succession to disputed property and the answer can significantly alter who ultimately benefits from an inheritance. The speaker is Andrew J. Bell.
