This paper offers broad guidance on certain key considerations when pursuing an administration action of this nature. Your dedicated Private Client specialist can provide bespoke advice tailored to your particular circumstances and needs. What is an administration action When beneficiaries of an estate are worried that the personal representatives (the executors or administrators) are not managing the estate correctly, they will want guidance on the options available rather than standing by as matters worsen, with the potential for significant financial and avoidable loss to the estate’s value and their inheritance, over time. A personal representative can be liable for wasting the estate, or for breaching their duties. The personal representatives have an obligation to call in the deceased’s estate, settle the deceased’s liabilities and distribute the remainder of the estate (after deduction of all tax and administration expenses) in accordance with the terms of the Will or the...

Key points A client’s domicile largely determines the law that will regulate succession to their estate. While domicile can be altered, it calls for meticulous planning and is best tackled as early as possible. Whether the client should have a single Will, separate Wills for each jurisdiction with which they are connected, or no Will at all, depends on their full circumstances. Seek guidance from qualified practitioners in every jurisdiction where the client has property or family connections. Keep arrangements under regular review, especially whenever the client’s circumstances change. Domicile Domicile is a legal status, often described as a form of personal law, that ties an individual to the legal system of a particular jurisdiction. It is distinct from residence or nationality, although those factors may assist in determining domicile. A person is commonly domiciled where they maintain a...

This note offers broad guidance on several core considerations when pursuing a family provision claim (a claim under the Inheritance ( Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 ( I( PFD) A 1975)). Your dedicated Private Client adviser can deliver bespoke guidance aligned to your individual situation. What is a family provision claim? People in England and Wales may generally distribute their estate to whomever they choose. This contrasts with many legal systems where forced heirship dictates beneficiaries, or earmarks parts of an estate, on death. Yet, this freedom of testation here is limited by statute. The Inheritance ( Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 ( I( PFD) A 1975) permits certain classes of individuals, who were financially dependant on the deceased, to pursue a claim against the estate for reasonable financial provision. Such applications are commonly described as family provision claims,...

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
