Court cases involving family trusts might be presumed to be rather dry. Not so. Many family-related disputes involve an unavoidable amount of dirty linen being washed in public as each side seeks to gain the advantage. In Marcus v Marcus, a new level of intimate detail was revealed as the court had to consider if the alleged illegitimacy one of the parties precluded them from benefiting from a Settlement Trust.
As a general rule, proprietary estoppel claims normally arise after the death of someone who has made a promise to another - only for the latter to discover that the former had reneged on their promise and that, against expectations, they do not stand to inherit the property as promised. The case of Guest v Guest is however, an example of a proprietary estoppel claim being brought by the son against his parents while they were still alive.
