Being left out of a will doesn't automatically mean something can be done about it — but there are specific legal grounds on which wills can be challenged, and specific circumstances where someone excluded can still make a claim.

What this covers

Grounds for challenging a will
Claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act
Time limits for bringing a claim
Alternatives to court, including negotiated settlement

Some claims have strict time limits from the date of the grant of probate — it's worth checking early.
