Description
Case: Meena v Jacobs; Re The Estate of Catherine Nolan [2004] NSWSC 1191 Catherine Nolan may not have intended to leave 40% of her estate to charities, but the question for the Court was whether they could rectify her Will to change that outcome? This case deals with the power of the NSW Supreme Court to rectify a will where there has been a clerical error made and how that power will not be available to correct all mistakes in Wills. An update on the powers of rectification can be found in this article by Liam Tobin of Baker Love Lawyers.
