Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines decision-making and power structures that shaped inheritance laws, as reflected in wills, trusts, and estate administration in England. The author argues that these laws evolved as social safety nets, influenced by feudalism and the development of the country's economy. Drawing on a rich tapestry of case law, the book traces the evolution of English inheritance practices from the Anglo-Saxon period through the Middle Ages, with a focus on the interplay of legal and social norms. It examines concepts such as dower, curtesy, and primogeniture, and sheds light on how these concepts privileged certain heirs while disenfranchising others. The author also explores the role of the church and the rise of equity in shaping the development of inheritance law. Through its comprehensive analysis of legal and historical documents, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of the social and economic forces that have shaped the distribution of wealth and inheritance rights throughout English history.
