Text of statute as originally enacted

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

Subsequent developments

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

Section 7 of the act was repealed by section 1 of, and the schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1863 (26 & 27 Vict. c. 125), which came into force on 28 July 1863.[1]

The whole act, so far as it applied to deaths occurring after 1 January 1926 was repealed by section 56 of, and part I of the second schedule to, the Administration of Estates Act 1925 (15 & 16 Geo. 5.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