proletarian · 2008-05-03 00:16:47

Hi, exams soon and puzzled. Regarding Irish law on commorientes, could someone please point me to a source that has a decent account of what commorientes entails, read pearce and mee's book, nothing there. I just want a good, clear source to wind up my unanswered questions on the topic! Thanks in advance

Commorientes arises when joint tenants all die in circumstances in which it is impossible to ascertain which of them died first. Section 5 of the Succession Act needs to be looked at. I always find Coughlan of use.
