    The Court will look at both your financial and other needs, as well as other criteria.

    The Court considers “the financial resources (including earning capacity) and financial needs, both present and future, of the applicant … or of any beneficiary of the deceased person’s estate”. Other matters that will also be considered are:

    • any physical, intellectual or mental disability of the applicant …,
    • the age of the applicant when the application is being considered,
    • any contribution (whether financial or otherwise) by the applicant to the acquisition, conservation and improvement of the estate of the deceased person or to the welfare of the deceased person or the deceased person’s family, whether made before or after the deceased person’s death, for which adequate consideration (not including any pension or other benefit) was not received, by the applicant,
    • any provision made for the applicant by the deceased person, either during the deceased person’s lifetime or made from the deceased person’s estate,
    • whether the applicant was being maintained, either wholly or partly, by the deceased person before the deceased person’s death and, if the Court considers it relevant, the extent to which and the basis on which the deceased person did so,
