About the Webinar

The right of children to inherit from their parents is well accepted at law, but practical issues can make the application of the law complex. In an age of blended families, adopted children and children born from assisted reproductive technologies, what can practitioners advise their clients on potential claims to their estate and how to best structure to manage these? This session will provide a guide on claims by “other” children and how they can differ depending on State law, including:

  • Can foster children make a claim from the estate? What is the nature of the relationship and does the length of care affect rights?
  • What are the rights of adopted children? Can adopted children make a claim on their biological parents’ estate?
  • Do step children have the same rights as biological children?
  • Where a child is born by assisted reproductive technology can the child make a claim against a sperm or egg donor’s estate? Case study of Masson v Parsons [2019] HCA 21
  • Tips for estate planning to manage potential claims
