A Part IV Claim is also known as a Family Provision Claim. It is an Application made to a Court for an Order requesting that greater provision be made for the Application (person applying for the Order) out of the deceased’s estate. The Application must show that the deceased had a moral obligation to make adequate provision for the Applicant in the Will and the provision made for the Application in the Will was inadequate, having regard to the Applicant’s financial needs and resources. The Application must be made within 12 months of the deceased’s date of death.
