Where does the money come from if a family provision claim is successful?
- Any provision awarded to the claimant must come from the estate assets.
- The court may prescribe which part of the estate is to bear the burden of the provision.
- For example the court may order that the provision for the claimant be paid from the testator’s bank accounts or that a particular property must be sold to provide the requisition funds.
