    Ok,
    friend needs help to find an act for college.

    We have "john" and "jenny" they are a married couple.
    jenny dies.
    John had a child with jenny.
    john now finds a new girlfriend. they have a child. john now dies.
    what legal acts cover something like this. where does the inheritance lie etc(johns marriage child is of age)...if anybody knows any acts which cover this situation please let me know

    Succession Act 1965 http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/ZZA27Y1965.html, provides if no will made, and deceased not married, estate devolves to child. If will made, as per will provides, except child has a right to apply to high court under s. 117, that the parent has failed in their moral duty to provide for them.

    This is a lot easier because john doesnt marry the new girlfriend, if he did, then new wife would get all of estate if dies without a will, or even with a will, a legal right to a third of the state (since there are kids, half of estate if no kids).
