Abstract
In this chapter we consider the property rights of a spouse on the death of the other spouse and claims by family members and other dependants for financial provision out of the estate of a deceased person under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. Appointing a guardian for a child is considered in Chapter 9.
