Statute of Distribution

The Statute of Distribution (22 & 23 Cha. 2. c. 10) was an act of the Parliament of England in 1670. It deals with the administration of intestate estates.

The act was continued until the next session of parliament after 7 years by section 1 of the Continuance of Laws Act 1678 (30 Cha. 2. c. 6).

The act was made perpetual by the Administration of Intestates' Estate Act 1685 (1 Ja. 2. c. 17).

The whole act, so far as it applied to deaths occurring after 1 January 1926 was repealed by section 56 of, and part I of the second schedule to, the Administration of Estates Act 1925 (15 & 16 Geo. 5. c. 23).

For the construction of references to Statutes of Distribution, see section 50 of the Administration of Estates Act 1925 and section 19 of the Administration of Estates Act (Northern Ireland) 1955.
