Closed Equal Hereditary Peerage Succession - akin to Succession to the Crown Act 2013

Closed on

Some titles are too old for succession reform to be completely retroactive.

Similar to how the 2013 Act was retroactive to 2011, have the reform be from the last title holder onwards. This would also allow for female-line children & grandchildren to inherit regardless of gender.

This means that the legacy of their ancestors can live on rather than die with only the males.
