Project No. 34(VII)

In 1993 the Queensland Law Reform Commission (QLRC) was asked to make recommendations designed to unify the laws in all Australian states and territories relating to succession on death. The Uniform Succession Law Project Committee, which was established to further the work of the QLRC, presently has representatives from every jurisdiction except Western Australia. In June 1999, the Project Committee issued a discussion paper, which addressed succession law reform generally. The proposals were also considered in Project No. 88, which recommended that the reforms be adopted.
