If we are separated but not divorced and my partner passes away, do I have a claim on their estate?

About this video
"If we are separated but not divorced and my partner passes away, do I have a claim on their estate?” Senior Associate, Hayley Mitchell, explains that your right to claim on your late partner’s estate will depend on how far down the journey of separation you are at. Unless a Minute of Agreement has been signed to revoke succession rights, you may still be entitled to claim as a spouse. Need legal advice?
