Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the legal and ethical debates surrounding the rules of testamentary capacity and their application to wills. The author analyzes the history of these rules, tracing their evolution from the earliest English common law to the present day. The book also explores the underlying philosophical and medical assumptions that have shaped these rules, and the ways in which they have been challenged in recent years. Through a series of case studies, the author illustrates the complex and often contradictory ways in which these rules are applied in practice. The book concludes by arguing for a more nuanced and flexible approach to testamentary capacity, one that takes into account the individual circumstances of each case and the evolving understanding of mental illness. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the law of wills, as well as for those interested in the broader ethical and philosophical issues surrounding mental capacity and autonomy.
