Family Provision Claims

Whiteley Ironside & Shillington provides expert legal services in Succession Law.

We have experience acting for executors and claimants in family provision claims. A family provision claim on an Estate may arise where an eligible person is left out of or inadequately provided for in a family member’s Will. Eligibility to make a claim on an Estate is broad and time limits apply to making a claim.

We can advise executors and claimants on eligibility and determine whether any potential claim on the Estate is viable.

We are experienced in early dispute resolution to settle family provision claims by negotiation or in mediation in order to avoid litigation in court.
