What is disentitling conduct?

When a person challenges a Will and claims greater provision from the estate, the Court will consider a range of factors before making an order for greater provision. Some key factors that the Court will consider are the relationship between the deceased and the claimant, and the character and conduct of the claimant. Poor conduct by the claimant towards the deceased is often referred to as ‘disentitling conduct’.
