- What steps have to be taken to see if you have a just claim?
- Has the deceased made reasonable provision for you? Maybe you inherited far less than you expected.
- Did the deceased support you financially?
- Have emotions got in the way of fairness?
- Has the executor carried out their duties correctly? Some seem to think they don’t need to follow the Will, they can do what they like!
