This area covers claims for provision from a deceased person’s estate under the Inheritance Act 1975 when a person believes the will, or the lack of one, does not make reasonable provision for their future. A solicitor helps you understand eligibility, gather evidence of need, and prepare the court application, which may involve medical or financial records, witnesses, and valuations. They liaise with the Probate Registry and the Chancery Division of the High Court to present and respond to arguments about fair provision.
The act sets out the grounds for claiming, including dependants’ and spouses’ reasonable expectations. A solicitor explains the impact of the deceased’s assets and debts, and structures a claim for provision that reflects needs such as housing, income, or care costs, while addressing potential refusals, counterclaims, or settlements.
