Relatives and loved ones often feel upset and aggrieved about being disinherited or the amount of inheritance they receive under a Will or on an Intestacy.
In English law there is no requirement for a person to leave any of their Estate to particular people if they chose not to do so. However, if certain people believe that a Will or Intestacy does not make reasonable provision for them, it is possible for that person to make an application for further provision out of an Estate to be made under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.
