Monograph by Alexandra Braun recognised as a book of the year

Professor Alexandra Braun

A monograph by Professor Alexandra Braun, of Edinburgh Law School, has been selected as one of the Law Books of the Year in the German law journal Juristen Zeitung.

Claiming a Promised Inheritance: A Comparative Study examines cases where a person is promised a future inheritance and, upon acting on it, later discovers that the promise is unfulfilled.

The book structures its analysis and argument around the stories of disappointed promisees and their unfulfilled expectations of a future inheritance, and how they might seek redress.

It maps and compares the various, and often very diverse range of legal responses that a promisee can avail herself of across different legal areas of the law across both common and civil law traditions.
