Synopsis

The purpose of this book is to provide an accessible, practical guide to the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, together with an overview of the bases for challenging testamentary dispositions. The 1975 Act has been the subject of interpretation in recent years, in response not only to the continuing high divorce rate, but also as a consequence of social changes, such as the greater number of people living together without marrying. Claims based on the validity of a will may likewise become more common.

From the Inside Flap

" Drawing upon her considerable experience [the author] has in this one volume comprehensively dealt with all issues practitioners would ordinarily expect to confront and many more besides. The Judge s approach is robustly practical. The text is characteristically cogent and authoritatively stated. Casting a quick eye down the Contents enables the point to be identified swiftly. The precedents give helpful guidance. What more could a busy practitioner want? This is an admirable work which I shall use and which I warmly commend." (from the Foreword by Sir Alan Ward, Lord Justice of Appeal)
