A step-child is not the child of the deceased and so does not receive any interest, as a child, in the deceased's estate either in the will or, if there is no will, in intestacy. However, step-children can, in some circumstances, make claims under section 6(g) of the Inheritance (Family Provision) Act 1972, see Contesting a will.
We embrace diversity and welcome all people, irrespective of culture, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.
