We act for both applicants and estates in family provision claims, where it is alleged that a will does not make adequate provision for an eligible person.
We advise on eligibility to bring a claim, assist in negotiating and resolving claims where possible, and represent clients in court applications for further provision from an estate. We also act in defending estates against such claims, ensuring that the estate’s position is properly advanced and protected.
Family provision claims often involve sensitive questions about relationship history, financial need, and what proper provision should have been made. We help clients assess eligibility and prospects early, engage in practical resolution where possible, and pursue or defend claims with a clear understanding of both the legal and personal stakes involved.

Eligibility depends on the applicable law and the person’s relationship to the deceased, but spouses, children, and certain dependants are among those who may be able to apply in appropriate circumstances.
