Recorded Webinar: Made to be Broken? The Consequences of Broken Promises for Estate Administration
Date/Time
About the Webinar
While some may say that promises are made to be broken, it doesn’t mean there won’t be serious legal consequences as a result, particularly in the context of wills and a contested estate! This session shall take a deeper dive into cases involving broken promises and look closely at:
- The equitable claims which could potentially arise from a broken promise and the elements required to prove promissory estoppel, constructive trust etc
- The facts which gave rise to successful claims of promissory estoppel, and what steps could have been taken to identify and manage this during the testator’s lifetime
- How the court approached the equitable claims in recent cases including Kramer v Stone, Reeves and Sckaff and the practical aspects of such cases
