Certain classes of people are given rights to apply to Court for provision from the Estate of a deceased if they have no adequate provision made for them in a Will or by the law of intestacy.

These people are spouses, children, people who have lived as husband and wife with the deceased for two years before death or persons who were maintained by the deceased immediately before the death.

Such claims can sometimes be straightforward or can be very bitterly contested. It is better to make a Will rather than let those close to you depend on applying to Court after your death.

McGlennons have wide experience in these sort of claims including claims made by same sex partners.
