Inheritance Act
St Pauls Chambers’ specialist family lawyers offer their expertise in advocacy and advisory work across a broad range of family issues. In addition to the issues that arise on divorce, we have experienced barristers who regularly advise and appear in cases brought under the Inheritance Act 1975. This legislation allows a wide variety of people to claim financial provision if they feel that the deceased’s will (or intestacy) does not make reasonable financial provision for them.
Who Can Make Inheritance Act Claims?
Our family law barristers act and advise in cases on behalf of spouses, former spouses, civil partners, cohabitants and children (including adult children and other dependants). Only people of this relation to the deceased can apply for an inheritance act claim.
In these cases, it is essential to have sound, pragmatic advice from an expert family lawyer at an early stage. St Pauls Chambers offers specialist knowledge in this area and our barristers are regularly asked to provide written advice and to appear as advocates at court. Our family lawyers have the experience required to resolve these matters before court proceedings are necessary. When that isn’t possible, St Pauls Chambers’ Barristers are able to provide robust and polished advocacy.
