A new case has highlighted the urgent need for a full review into the laws of inherited estates, says City law firm Wedlake Bell.
Wedlake Bell says that a recent ruling, in which the cohabiting partner of a deceased man was bypassed for inheritance of an estate worth potentially £750,000 in favour of their three year old son, highlights the need for reform of this area of law. (Wright v Gater, 2011)
