Abstract:
I beg leave to submit to you the following report
upon the question proposed to me for investigation; namely, 'The
Present State of the Law and Practice in Ireland with respect to
Wills, with a view to have all wills proved and registered at the
domicile of the deceased, and to have the jurisdiction with respect
to legacies, devises, the administration of assets, and the validity of
wills consolidated and vested in the same Court.'
Following the course naturally suggested by the question itself, I
propose to point out the present state of the law and its practical
working in this country, upon the following points:?
1. The proof of wills.
2. The registry of wills.
3. The custody of wills.
4. The decision of questions respecting the validity of wills.
5. The decision of questions arising upon the construction ot
wills.
6. The administration of assets.
I propose to notice, as I proceed, the defects in the present system,
under each of the foregoing heads.
And in the last place, I propose to suggest such alterations in the
law as appear to me necessary in order to remove those defects,
and introduce a better system.
