Peerage Succession Bill of 360 ES

Introduced in the Duma.

 

An act to clarify and rephrase succession to a Peerage.

---

 

INTRODUCTION

The current law regarding noble inheritance is long and convoluted. This bill seeks to rectify this by making a more concise and easier to understand law regarding noble inheritance, henceforth dubbed peerage succession as noble inheritance is rather vague. This bill, in practice, does not change existing law, but merely rephrases them in a more concise manner.

 

I. Necessary Definitions

• Haeseni Peer: The titleholder of a Haeseni peerage (example: The Margrave of Greyspine, etc.)
• Succession: The inheritance of a Haeseni peerage.
• Collateral: A relative that is not a direct ancestor (uncle, aunt, etc.)

 

II. Amendments

• Section 704.04: Noble Inheritance shall be renamed to 704.04: Peerage Succession and state the following:

704.04: Peerage Succession

704.041: Upon the death of a Haeseni Peer, peerage shall pass to their son or daughter, a son taking precedence over a daughter, and where there are several children of the same sex the elder child taking precedence over the younger child.

704.0411: If one of the Peer’s children has died, the issue of the deceased shall take their place in accordance with lineal descent.

704.042: If a Haeseni Peer has no children entitled to succession, peerage shall pass to their brother or sister, with precedence for the brother, and where there are several siblings of the same gender the elder sibling taking precedence over the younger sibling.

704.0421: If one of the Peer’s siblings has died, the issue of the deceased shall take their place in accordance with lineal descent.

704.043: If a Haeseni Peer has no siblings entitled to succession, peerage shall pass to their nearest collateral, with precedence for a male, and with precedence for the elder over the younger.

704.0431: If one of the Peer’s collaterals has died, the issue of the deceased shall take their place in accordance with lineal descent.

704.044: If there is no possible successor, the relevant bloodline shall be considered extinguished and the Crown shall resume direct reign over the titled lands pending reassignment of the title.

704.045: The above provisions on succession shall apply in the event of abdication;

704.046: The above provisions may only be waived at the exclusive will of the Crown.
