An overview of common issues faced by charities when claims are issued against an estate of which they are beneficiaries

The presentation will provide an overview of claims commonly faced by charities in relation to estates of which they are beneficiaries and useful tips for charities to adopt when responding to claims brought against an estate.

The types of claims to be covered will include claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 and claims against the validity of a will.

The webinar will address the need for charities to maximise the legacies left to them by generous donors while carefully weighing any action against the risk of negative publicity and the costs of litigation.

The webinar will provide guidance on how to effectively manage disputes to achieve the best possible outcome and will focus on the specific legal, ethical and practical considerations to take into account when making decisions before, during and after a dispute has arisen.
