Defending a claim brought by mother’s carer

Isobel claimed that she had provided nursing care for their mother relying on a promise from the mother that Isobel would benefit from her estate on her death.

We proved that not only had there been no clear promise made to Isobel, but also that Isobel had not suffered any disadvantage in these circumstances.

Isobel withdrew her action and James and Kristina were able to receive their full share of their mother’s estate.
