Inheritance Rights in a Globalised Context

The aim is to provide a legal perspective on the changing role of families in welfare. Different legal solutions regarding economic security for family members through inheritance will be examined and evaluated.

The work is now (2013) conducted as a combined project of theme 3:2 and 5:4, and is a comparative law project about questions concerning costs and benefits associated with parenting in some countries. The project will result in an article.

The research has been in active dialogue with researchers in other countries, not least though participation in conferences and symposia including the Impact programmes own international symposium on the rights of the child held in May 2013.
