Abstract

Reviews the High Court decision in Wellesley v Earl Cowley [2019] EWHC 11 (Ch) and offers analysis on the operation of the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, noting the thin line between respecting testamentary freedom and guarding against an unjust disinheritance.
