Title:Liberia's 'non-statute' of wills
Author:Moore, T.R.
Year:1968
Periodical:Liberian Law Journal
Volume:4
Issue:1
Pages:37-57
Language:English
Geographic term:Liberia
Subject:law of inheritance
Abstract:The problems arising from the absence of wills legislation in Liberia are compounded by the fact that Liberian law has never established a precise substitute as the source for deciding Liberian wills disputes. The result is the evolution of a confusing Liberian law of wills in which each source contributing to the law contains significant differences from the other sources. The article is a response to some of the uncertainties that these multiple sources have created. It considered two major areas of wills law, namely: 1. Execution of wills (Ordinary attested wills; Holographic wills; Oral wills) and 2. Revocation of wills (Revocation by operation of law; Revocation by subsequent instrument; Revocation by physical act) - Summary and conclusion. Notes.
