Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):
11(1)Where a maintenance agreement provides for the continuation, after the death of one of the parties, of payments for the maintenance of a child and that party dies domiciled in England and Wales, the surviving party or the personal representatives of the deceased party may apply to the High Court or [F1the family court] for an order under paragraph 10.E+W
(2)If a maintenance agreement is altered by a court on an application under this paragraph, the agreement shall have effect thereafter as if the alteration had been made, immediately before the death, by agreement between the parties and for valuable consideration.
(3)An application under this paragraph shall not, except with leave of the High Court or [F2the family court], be made after the end of the period of six months beginning with the day on which representation in regard to the estate of the deceased is first taken out.
[F3(4)The following are to be left out of account when considering for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) when representation was first taken out—
(a)a grant limited to settled land or to trust property,
(b)any other grant that does not permit any of the estate to be distributed,
(c)a grant limited to real estate or to personal estate, unless a grant limited to the remainder of the estate has previously been made or is made at the same time,
(d)a grant, or its equivalent, made outside the United Kingdom (but see sub-paragraph (4A)).
