Practical Guide to Inheritance Act Claims by Adult Children Post-Ilott v Blue Cross

A practical guide on how to put together a claim in a 1975 Act application by an adult child. While it concentrates on claimants, it should also be of assistance to those defending a claim, whether they are executors/administrators or beneficiaries. It is intended to be helpful to legal practitioners without specific experience in this area of the law, but should also be helpful to potential claimants or defendants who are considering acting in person.
