Research Handbook on Family Property and the Law (Research Handbooks in Family Law series)

Synopsis

This pivotal Research Handbook analyses the interconnectedness of family property and the law through historical, contemporary, comparative and jurisdiction-specific lenses. Authors analyse some of the most well-known, contested and politicised legal developments in the field of family property law. Bringing together leading international scholars, the Research Handbook on Family Property and the Law considers the key policy issues that impact family property entitlement, including the extent to which wealth, class and race influence its distribution. It explores the defining features of family property, such as how it is conceptualised, created and legally recognised, and how it has evolved over time. Authors examine the recipients, recognition and redistribution of family property, queer perspectives on property protections in marriage and other registered partnerships, and family property law in a variety of regions including Africa, Asia, Australasia, the Caribbean, Europe and North America. This comprehensive Research Handbook will be a vital resource for academics and students specialising in family law, human rights law, property law, social policy and succession law. It will also benefit legal practitioners and national and international policymakers in the field.
