spes successionis
spes successionis an expectation of succeeding to property. It is not a title, but adventurous lenders may see it as a form of comfort. A person whose hope did not come to fruition because the testator's intentions were not legally effected by a negligent solicitor was com- pensated to the amount of the succession from the solicitor's insur- ers rather than the estate, which went to someone else: Ross v. Caunters [1980] 1 Ch. 297. See also White v. Jones 1993 TLR 124.364
