Children As Applicants - Contesting Wills

The fact that a person is the deceased's child can be a very important factor in determining the applicant's claim for family provision where inadequate provision was made. 

Naturally, not all children are the same when one considers that they can be: minors dependants, adult children, adopted children etc. 

To determine parentage there are a number of options available ranging from birth certificates to testing that can be done to determine the issue via DNA. 

If you are the child of the deceased or executor opposing a claim by the child of a deceased contact us to find out more about your rights.
