A practical guide on how to put together a claim in a 1975 Act
application by an adult child. While it concentrates on claimants, it
should also be of assistance to those defending a claim, whether they
are executors/administrators or beneficiaries. It is intended to be
helpful to legal practitioners without specific experience in this area
of the law, but should also be helpful to potential claimants or
defendants who are considering acting in person.
