What rights does a step child have against your estate after you die? Does the biological parent need to be married to the step-parent? Following a recent Victorian Court of Appeal decision, the decision may not be clear-cut.

- long-tern foster children
- non-biological children
- adopted children
- step children
- Which “children” are you obliged to provide for in your will?
- When do step children cease to be step children?
- Step children and rights to a step parent’s super: ATO ID 2011/77
- Managing estate planning when a blended family breaks down:
- excluding an ex spouse's children from testamentary trusts and wills
- protecting the estate from family provision claims
- Case update: Scott-MacKenzie v Bail [2017] VSCA 108 - What does this mean for other jurisdictions?
