The Laws of Inheritance

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Do you have a right to an inheritance? That might depend on the country you're in. Manuela Saragosa hears from Stuart Herd in England, who found himself disinherited by his step-mother, and lawyer Richard Frimston from Russell-Cooke on how the laws get increasingly complicated as people cross international borders. Plus Donald Trump makes a pitch to reform tax in the US. The BBC's Dominic O'Connell assess his chances of success. (Photo: the words 'last will and testament' written on typewriter.
