Halacha and inheritance

A two hour summer commute is a proven cause of blog neglect. On the other hand, my long commute gives me time to listen to downloaded CLEs, podcasts and lectures I wouldn’t otherwise have time for.

Last night I listened to a lecture by Rabbi Hershel Schachter on the Halachic Issues of Inheritance. The lecture is an introduction to the major halachic principles regarding wills and inheritance, including halachic estate distribution, whether and when wills are accepted in halacha, bechorah, property deposited with a third party, and dina demalchuta dina.

You can download the lecture here. I haven’t explored the entire yutorah.org website, but there seems to be thousands of lectures on various topics available for download.
