If you have been left out of a Will, received less than you believed you would or do not inherit under the intestacy rules, you may have a claim under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 (“the Act”).
This is a claim seeking “reasonable financial provision” from an estate.
Only certain categories of people can bring this claim, including spouses, civil partners, cohabitees (who were living with the Deceased for a period of at least two years before death), children, and people who were being maintained by the Deceased.
