Colin Olsen died at the age of 87 years. He was survived by his wife of 56 years, Beverley, and their three children. He also had a child from a previous relationship, Craig Olsen.
Colin’s Will left his entire estate to Beverley. Craig made an application for provision from the estate.
What make this case particularly interesting was that Craig was a successful solicitor and the Court was critical of his self-drafted affidavits. And also the reason that Craig was seeking provision from his late father’s estate – he said he needed the funds to do renovation on 2 of his wife’s 5 properties.
