Dealing with the death of a loved one is never easy, and it can be even more distressing to discover that you have not been provided for in their Will or that no Will was made at all. Our experienced inheritance solicitors regularly assist clients in these circumstances, successfully bringing claims under the Inheritance Act. While the law allows a person to leave their estate as they choose, it also recognises that certain individuals may be entitled to reasonable financial provision and may be able to challenge the estate where this has not been made.
Our Inheritance solicitors are ready to help. Call our specialist solicitors for professional legal advice about inheritance claims on 0330 107 0107 or request a call back.
Dealing with the death of a loved one can be incredibly hard and sometimes it can be made even harder if you find out that you have not been provided for in their Will or if they died without leaving a Will, and that you will not be a person that benefits.
Our inheritance solicitors have assisted many people who have experienced these issues and have successfully made claims under the Inheritance Act for them.
The law accepts that a testator (the deceased person) can leave their money to whoever they like. However, the law also recognises that certain people have a claim against an estate and if you are one of those people then you can challenge the Will if financial provision is not made for you.
There are 5 types of people that can make an inheritance claim:
Historically, it has been easier for those at the top of the list above to be able to bring a successful claim than those at the bottom of the list. However, the Courts in recent years have been more prepared to interfere with the provisions made in a Will than they used to be.
By way of example, the UK Courts recently made a decision where a daughter estranged from her mother for many years, to the point where her mother had not attended her wedding, and who had never relied upon her mother, was found, after instructing solicitors, to be entitled to challenge her mother’s Will that left her nothing.
Another example, where there was no Will made, saw an estate of over five million pounds pass to the deceased’s wife rather than to his current partner. The current partner instructed Solicitors who contested the Will on her behalf and successful provision was made to her.
