Introduction
Determining the value of the net estate is an essential part of bringing and defending any 1975 Act claim.
This enables you to advise on the potential outcomes of a claim, the costs risks, and the acceptable parameters of settlement.
Arguments over the value of the estate can themselves be costly and protracted, especially where the assets are not in the deceased’s legal name.
Those disputes are often complicated by the fact that they normally involve third parties, and because judges have such a wide discretion under the 1975 Act.
This new virtual classroom seminar will explain and demystify some of the key provisions in the 1975 Act.
