The concept of family relief (as it was once called) has evolved into our current Family Maintenance and Support (FMS) provisions. Review the fundamental concepts on which FMS is based, and how the courts consider claims. Review the drafting of wills where there are potential FMS claims, and the obligations of executors to FMS claimants and other beneficiaries.

  • Drafting of wills where there are potential FMS claims
  • Obligations of executors to FMS claimants and other beneficiaries
  • Strategies for how to challenge a will or defend a will against an FMS claim
  • Co-habitation and pre-nuptial agreements
