Wills Act 2008

Where, but for the operation of section 12, a person would be entitled to a beneficial disposition, that person may, subject to and in accordance with the Rules, apply to the Court for an order that that person is to be entitled under the will as if that section did not apply in relation to him or her.

An application under this section may be made before the grant of probate of the will but, subject to subsection (3), is not to be made more than 6 months after that date.

The Court may extend the time for the making of an application under this section, whether or not the time appointed under subsection (2) has expired, but no application may be made after the final distribution of the estate and no order under this section affects the distribution of any part of the estate made before the making of the application.
