Webinar on compensation for estates/bereaved families
Written by Sam Wilson, October 31, 2024
We are holding a webinar at 6pm on Wednesday, 6 November for bereaved families who may be eligible for compensation through the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme.
This meeting is open to any member of the Haemophilia Society and their family and will focus on compensation due to the ‘estates’ of people who died as a result of treatment with contaminated blood products.
The webinar will give advice about how to get the right legal document to apply for compensation, including where someone has died without leaving a will.
We will be joined by experts from BTMK Solicitors who will explain a little about the process of administering a deceased person’s affairs, also known as their estate, which is called probate in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, or confirmation in Scotland.
We plan to hold separate meetings for different groups eligible for compensation over the next few months and hope to announce the next webinar soon.
This meeting will not be recorded to protect the anonymity of those present on the call.
