Ameliah McLaren-Parker acted for a claimant in respect of two claims. The first claim was a challenge to the validity of her mother’s will on the grounds that she lacked testamentary capacity, and the second was a claim under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 for reasonable financial provision from the Estate. The Deceased suffered from a range of complex physical and cognitive impairments, which we claimed significantly impacted the Deceased’s ability to make a valid will. We claimed that the Deceased did not meet the requirements to make a will as per the test in Banks v Goodfellow (1870) and that she was susceptible to undue influence at the hands of her adult son. The medical and circumstantial evidence was compelling, and we were able to combine to two to present a strong case for our client which resulted in a settlement which gave her 50% of her mother’s estate, in addition to a significant contribution towards her legal fees.
