Product Overview

Product Description

The Dictionary of TLATA and Inheritance Act Claims sets out the key concepts, cases and practice in four important areas where family law overlaps with the law of trusts and real property: (i) the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (‘TLATA’); (ii) applications for financial provision pursuant to the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975; (iii) Schedule 1 applications for financial relief for children; and (iv) an overview of civil procedure and the Civil Procedure Rules 1998. This publication contains a procedural guide and table of relevant cases.

The book is divided into sections with an easy-to-use A-Z format and detailed footnotes. Each entry contains a practice note, citing the leading cases and practice points. It contains procedural guides and tables of relevant cases and statutory material. The book distils the experience of the authors and aims to provide concise, practical and above all helpful guide to everything from detriment to cost budgeting, and from classes of applicants to the rights of engaged couples.

The guidance is packed into a portable A4 book, which will be updated annually, which will make the Dictionary of TLATA and Inheritance Act Claims the perfect court companion and trusted library reference.

New entries for 2025 include:

  • An expanded TLATA section
  • Excluding claims under I(PFD)A 1975

Customer Reviews

"This is an important and ambitious exposition of some very technical areas of law but grounded in the practicalities and realities of practice at the coal face."

Dictionary of TLATA & Inheritance Act Claims

The Rt. Hon. Sir James Munby, Former President of the Family Division

"Where this Dictionary breaks new ground – and this is a really important and exciting innovation – is in bridging the very different worlds of family and chancery, each, even now, still very much a foreign country to the other.”
