Description

Two sociologists and a lawyer examine here the attitudes of both survivors and attorney on various problems surrounding inheritance―from will-making through estate settlement. Within a legal frame of reference, this book is a study of what happens within a family at death―and why. The authors use the "inheritance unit" as the basis for looking at the functions of inheritance in intergenerational family continuity and the general patterns of family relationship.
