Orders extinguishing succession rights on judicial separation.
14.—On granting a decree of judicial separation or at any time thereafter, the court may, on application to it in that behalf by either of the spouses concerned, make an order extinguishing the share that either of the spouses would otherwise be entitled to in the estate of the other spouse as a legal right or on intestacy under the Act of 1965 if—
(a) it is satisfied that adequate and reasonable financial provision exists or can be made under section 8, 9, 10 (1) (a), 11, 12 or 13 for the spouse whose succession rights are in question (“the spouse concerned”),
(b) the spouse concerned is a spouse for the support of whom the court refused to make an order under section 8, 9, 10 (1) (a), 11, 12 or 13, or
(c) it is satisfied that the spouse concerned is not a spouse for whose benefit the court would, if an application were made to it in that behalf, make an order under section 8, 9, 10 (1) (a), 11, 12 or 13.
