Inheritance Act Claims
Sometimes a person is left out of a will or the provisions that are made in a will are deemed insufficient. In either case, you may be able to make a claim for financial provision under the Inheritance Act.
The team at O’Donnell Solicitors can advise and represent you in this complex and often emotionally sensitive area.
Before making a claim, our solicitors will need to put together a case based on your personal circumstances and the relationship you had with the deceased. Claims can be made if you are a spouse/civil partner of the deceased, former spouse/civil partner of the deceased, unmarried partner if you lived together for 2 years before the date of death, a child of the deceased, a person treated as a child of the family, or a person financially maintained by the deceased.
There are strict time limits which should be adhered to, although claims can be made out of time.
This is a highly specialist area of law and advice should be taken as soon as possible after the death of the deceased.
