Reading time: 1 minute
Professor Alexandra Braun
Professor Alexandra Braun, Lord President Reid chair of law at Edinburgh Law School, has written an article entitled Compensating unpaid domestic care in the testamentary context II: Possible approaches and potential objections – for the Edinburgh Private Law Blog.
“In a previous blog entry, I examined whether current Scots law allows unpaid domestic carers to bring a claim against the estate of the person whom they have cared for. We saw that in Scotland, unpaid carers who are not in a contractual relationship with the care-recipient and who have not been provided for in the care-recipient’s will, only have a limited set of possible options and that the value of informal care is not currently recognised by way of a specific entitlement against the estate of the care-recipient. What is the situation elsewhere?”
