CWPL is a boutique law firm, practising Estate Litigation in Sydney, NSW, Melbourne, VIC, Brisbane, QLD and Perth, WA, with a visiting office in Adelaide, SA.
This is an enquiry by a disappointed step-daughter against the estate of her step-father who died leaving a Will which left virtually everything to his natural daughter.
The query was raised within the required time limits, and the inquirer wanted to know whether she could claim, as her step-father had promised her a substantial lump sum on his death.
She did not have a claim as there was no dependency upon the step-father; the step-daughter having lived separately from him for many years.
