Case: Ballam v Ferro (No 2) [2022] NSWSC 1358 10; Ballam v Ferro [2022] NSWSC 1200
One morning in 2012, Rosario Maiorana executed his final

claimed that the Will was executed in suspicious circumstances and that their
grandfather did not have capacity to do a Will. Secondly, they applied for provision
from Rosario’s estate.
SPOILER: They were completely unsuccessful. But then it
became an issue of who should pay the legal costs of the proceedings.
THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE.
