ESTATE CLAIMS
If you feel that you’ve been left out of a will unfairly, or plan to make a claim against an estate it is important that you contact a deceased estate lawyer to help you right away, as you may be running out of time.
In these circumstances the Family Provisions Act 1972 may provide a mechanism for them to make a Family Provisions Claim if they are an eligible person.
An eligible person under the Act includes:
- Spouse or de facto spouse;
- Former spouse or de facto spouse who is entitled to receive maintenance;
- A child including one born 10 months after decedent’s death;
- A grandchild in certain circumstances;
- A step-child in certain circumstances;
- A parent.
Time is critical
A person who fits the eligibility criteria has just 6 months from the date of grant of Probate or Administration within which to file a Family Provisions claim in the Supreme Court of Western Australia.
