What if you are an adult child and have been cut out of a will, can you make a claim?
I look at the position in terms of the state of the law on whether you can actually cut a child (or anyone else) out of a will or whether there is always a danger of a claim, for instance under the Inheritance Act 1975. The parent feel this is justified if, for example, they had helped them out many years earlier, such as buying them a house etc. Or maybe they just wanted to leave everything to the Battersea Dogs Home! The truth is that you cannot fully insulate yourself in your will, even with a letter of wishes, and there is always the danger of an Inheritance Act Claim if the court feels that reasonable financial provision has not been made in the will and the adult child has financial needs.
