Overview

Revise SQE Wills and Administration of Estates provides readers with the core legal principles and rules to be tested by the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE1) Functioning Legal Knowledge (FLK) assessment. It outlines the law, procedure and processes involved in drafting and interpreting a will, the functions and responsibilities of personal representatives, and how an estate is managed and taxed. There are chapters on how to make a claim against an estate using the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 and on the professional conduct points which arise most frequently when dealing with probate work. Readers will be able to test their knowledge throughout by practising multiple-choice questions, and practical examples will clarify the application of the law.
