The law surrounding the passage of property on death by means of a will or intestate inheritance is known as the law of succession. Nearly everyone comes into contact with succession law at some point because of the death of a relative or spouse. Despite this, succession is one of the most antiquated and neglected areas of the law. It is based on both case law and legislation, but the legislation is spread over a forest of different statutes, and much of it is quite old. The aim of the Succession Law Reform Project was to modernize the law of succession in British Columbia and reduce the number of separate pieces of legislation relating to it. The final report for this project, Wills, Estates and Succession: A Modern Legal Framework, contains recommendations and draft legislation to update British Columbia succession law and consolidate four separate Acts (Wills Act, Wills Variation Act, Estate Administration Act, Probate Recognition Act) and portions of a fifth Act (Law and Equity Act) that now govern various aspects of the law of succession into one statute.

Among the States and Territories there are numerous significant differences in the law of wills. In intestacy, the rights of a surviving spouse vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In family provision schemes, qualification to apply for provision is far from uniform, as are also the grounds on which the courts in different jurisdictions may order that provision be made. In the administration of deceased estates, there is a lack of uniformity in the law relating to devolution of title and the payment of debts from assets, and uncertainty with respect to interstate recognition of grants of probate. Less significant differences are numerous, particularly in those relatively neglected areas of law reform such as probate and administration. To date, in Australia, State and Territory succession laws have been reformed in a piecemeal manner. The development by the National Committee of model legislation to be used as the basis for reform by individual States and Territories provides an opportunity for the States and Territories to adopt uniform, or at least consistent, laws relating to wills.
