The law on succession and wills is set out in the Succession Act 1965, as amended. While the Government legislation programme does not provide for legislative proposals in this area, operation of the law is being kept under review in my Department. A restatement of the 1965 Act under the terms of the Statute Law (Restatement) Act 2002 has recently been published.
