Hi All
There are possible big changes in Victoria that will radically reduce Family Provision claims.
These changes will effectively remove non dependent adult children as valid claimants.
I have been a strong advocate for reform of this kind for many years.
Having said that I have proposed a class of claimant covered by.
"A person that substantially contributed to the wealth or well being of the deceased"
I have hoped this would protect those such as a farmers child that labors for decades at reduced compensation with the expectation of an inheritance, or
Do you think this situation could be adequately covered by promissory estoppel ?
Looking forward to your thoughts.
