The Law of Inheritance

The Law of Inheritance

Publications & Reports

Bleek discusses marriage law distinctions concerning the Law of Inheritance and the alienation of complex assets in Roman-Dutch Law and divergent English Common Law systems. The Western and Eastern Provinces disagree on which system best serves the interests of the public, with Bleek recommending Roman-Dutch Law's superior protection of women and children's assets from those who may otherwise lawfully squander them. Bleek maintains that the less emphatic English Common Law is more susceptible to abuse, burdening parents (on a presumption of literacy) with the formulation of settlements.
