Rejected petition Law of Succession - a childless spouse

More details

In Intestacy Should the Surviving lifetime childless spouse be granted the right to inherit the whole estate.

Should blood syblings be remove from making claims when there is a living spouse
“no person should precede a living lifetime spouse”

a spouse is by choice Parents are your heritage & special - blood syblings are your relatives

It's not in keeping with the way we live our lives in the 21st Century, L.O.S-1964 is outdated,

I ask our Scottish Government to address this issue with a matter of urgency, granting a surviving childless spouse their rightful place,to inherit the whole estate.
