Overview

This practical guide to the bringing of claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 is intended to provide a detailed overview to practitioners and claimants as to the practicalities of such claims. It provides an historical overview putting the 1975 Act into context, then sets out in an accessible and approachable manner how to put together a claim and follow it through to settlement or trial. Together with its sister title, 'A Practical Guide to Defending an Inheritance Act Claim', they form a comprehensive guide to such litigation, though there is significant overlap between the text of the two works, for reasons that should be clear. With Chris Bryden's other book, 'A Practical Guide to the Death of a Spouse During Divorce', they amount to a comprehensive resource. A combination of a practical analysis of the legal frameworks and case law that applies, and practical tips and guidance for practitioners that find themselves in a position which may not be legally familiar to them, this guide is an essential addition to any private client lawyer's written resources. Accessible, approachable, but sufficiently weighty in its analysis, it is bound to become the indispensable handbook in its field.
