Project No. 34(IV)

In June 1986, the Governor announced that legislation to implement the recommendations made in the Commission’s final report would be introduced,3 however these plans subsequently stalled. In 1993—partly as a result of the failure of the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General to adopt the recommendations for uniform laws—the Queensland Law Reform Commission was asked to make recommendations designed to unify the laws in all Australian states and territories relating to succession on death.

The recommendations remain current. However, in so far as they address national uniformity of succession laws, they remain contingent upon the findings and proposals of the QLRC.
