About the Webinar

Not every disgruntled family member is able to make a family provision claim. A key component is determining whether a claim has a basis in the first place, as well as adequately addressing and proving need. This session delves into the criteria determining eligibility for asserting a claim against an estate and explores the evidentiary requirements essential for satisfying the court. It covers:

  • Who’s in and who’s out – navigating the categories of eligible claimants
  • Scope and extent of full and frank disclosure regarding financial position and need
  • Evidence of relationships - what do the courts need to see?
  • The importance of timing – key lessons from Re Haddow: Haddow v Haddow [2021] VSC 553
  • War stories and learnings from recent cases
