Her mother died with an estate of £486,000 and she left the fully amount to charitable causes. She failed to make any provision for her daughter and only child, who was relied upon state benefits for income and lived in council owned rented accommodation. She brought a legal challenge to the contents of the Will on the grounds that it was unreasonable for her mother to make no financial provision for her future.
In reaching their decision, the Court gave consideration to the importance of placing the needs of family members above those of other non related beneficiaries. The Court agreed that reasonable financial provision should have been made and decided that this should include a sufficient amount to enable her to purchase her property. After full consideration of all relevant factors, the Court awarded her £163,000.
