INTESTATE SONS
Distribution of Property Notification of his intention to introduce a Bill entitled the Administration Act, 1930, was given in the Legislative Council yesterday by the Hon. R. Me-’ Callum (Marlborough). It is designed to bring the law relating to the administration of the estates of intestate bachelors, and childless widowers, into line with the English Administration of Estates Act. 1925. Under this law in England the whole estate of a bachelor or childless widower who dies without leaving a will automatically goes to the mother where the father is not living, whereas in New Zealand it is shared equally by the mother and any brothers and sisters of the deceased.
