Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975

This act makes provisions for those who are connected to the deceased but did not receive "reasonable financial provision" from the estate of the deceased via a will or intestacy.

You may be entitled to seek financial provision from the deceased's estate if you are:

1. A spouse or civil partner

2. A former spouse / civil partner provided you have not remarried / entered into a new civil partnership

3. A child of the deceased

4. Any person (not being a child of the deceased) who was treated as a 'child of the family' of the deceased

5. Any person being partly or wholly maintained by the deceased

Claims must be made within 6 months of the date of the grant of representation. The court has jurisdiction to allow claims out of time.

A claim can only be made if the deceased died domiciled in England and Wales.
