Succession duties
Succession duties. The (English) Succession Duty Act, 1853, amended by 22 & 23 Vict. c. 21, ss. 12-15, and by the Customs and Inland Revenue Acts, 1881, 1888, and 1889, imposed a new set of duties, varying in amount from 1 per cent. in the case of a child succeeding a parent to 10 per cent. in the case of succession to a stranger in blood, upon real or personal property to which any person succeeds on the death of another. The duty is calculated on the capitalized value for the life of the successor of the property succeeded to, in accordance with a table schedule to the Act of 1853; e.g., if a person aged fifty succeed to property worth 100l. a year, he pays succession duty upon 1242l. 19s. 6d.Succession duties are payable as a rule at the same rate as legacy duty in respect of all property liable to be administered by any Court in Great Britain and Northern Ireland--unlike legacy duty, it falls on property passing by death (succession), under disposition by deed or other instrument (...
Consanguinity, or kindred
Consanguinity, or kindred, the connection or rela-tion of persons descended from the same stock or common ancestor. It is either lineal or collateral.

Collateral agree with the lineal in this, that they descend from the same stock or ancestor, but differ in this, that they do not descend one from the other. See MARRIAGE (Prohibited Degrees)....

Sapinda, (i) sapinda relationship, with reference to any person extends as far as the third generation (inclusive) in the line of ascent through the mother, and the fifth (inclusive) in the line of ascent through the father, the line being traced upwards in each case from the person concerned, who is to be counted as the first generation.(ii) two persons are said to be 'sapindas' of each other if one is a lineal ascendant of the other within the limits of sapinda relationship, or if they have a common lineal ascendant who is within the limits of sapinda relationship with reference to each of them.
