Quantifying 1975 Act Claims - The Remedies Available

Introduction

This new virtual classroom session will explore ways in which you can attempt to predict the outcomes of claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependents) Act 1975.

The variety of different types of family and personal circumstances that can lead to claims under the Act is vast, leading the Supreme Court to comment that the lack of guidance on valuation is unsatisfactory, and that each case turns on its own facts.

The session will look at the differing types of remedy and the range of factors under consideration in such claims with a view to trying to reduce the unpredictability that arises.
