Setting aside the disputes about who is right / wrong here, in a similar vein when we made wills my OH was informed that despite being divorced and having a final settlement with that ( ex has no claim on pension etc) as he pays child maintenance then the law considers his ex to be a dependant, and if he were to die whilst still paying child support although not mentioned in the will she could claim against his estate for the amount he would have paid. Obviously in doing so this would affect what would he had left in his will for his next of kin which would include these children.

Could you post on here exactly what the letter from the CSA says - removing any names or addresses, of course.

It would help to know exactly why the CSA are pursuing the claim - and they should tell you in the letter - so that people can give you the correct advice.

The OP never got a letter from the csa, it was her Mum stating a claim from the insurance policy cos she was left out of it

However, if the CSA case is still open with arrears on it, they may wish to pursue the estate for them and pay them to the mother.

Yes, but a policy payment does not form part of the estate, although eventually the benfactor may recieve from both. The deceased did not own the policy payout, so hence that is the daughters only, if the deceased had a house , then yes what you are saying is possible :beer:
