Applicant is eligible under s3(1)(iv) and (3); the Will left the estate to a discretionary trust granting the trustee absolute discretion such that the Will did not make reasonable financial provision for the applicant; given applicant's advanced age, uncertain longevity evidence, risk that a lump sum could be exhausted and inability to vary lump sum, the appropriate remedy is periodic payments under s4(1)(a) with provision for medical expenses and annual adjustments; therefore the court ordered monthly maintenance and ancillary payments and costs as set out.
