If you have been left out of your mother’s will and are wondering what your options are, then read this case study of a daughter who brought a successful inheritance claim against her mother’s estate with the help of our experienced team.
We recently represented Mrs B in a claim that we brought under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.
Mrs B pursued her inheritance claim against her mother’s estate as an ‘adult child’ under the 1975 Act. The defendants to the inheritance claim were Mrs B’s own children, her brother, her niece, and her nephew.
Mrs B had been left out of her mother’s will following a long period of estrangement that resulted from a family argument many years earlier.
We felt that her exclusion from her mother’s will was very unfair, and that financial provision should have been provided for her. We therefore agreed to work on her inheritance claim on a No Win, No Fee basis.
The claim was successful and was settled out of court at a mediation, where we negotiated a five figure package for Mrs B and in addition recovered all of her legal costs from the estate.
