This section compares law and practice of various jurisdictions in particular areas. We use the Q&A format familiar to readers of the World Trust Survey, but the In Focus section asks for more detailed answers than in the Survey. For 2009 the subject is succession, looking particularly at forced heirship rights, the division of community property and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.
