Under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, you may be able to bring a claim against the estate for reasonable financial provision whether or not there is a will in place if you are:
- a former husband, wife or civil partner who has not remarried or formed a new civil partnership
- a cohabitee who had lived with the deceased for at least two years ending immediately before their death
- a child of the deceased
- a person who was not the deceased’s child but who was treated as a child of the family
