Description
Estate El Chami; Habib v El Chami [2016] NSWSC 1208 Elias Yacoub El Chami died on 23 February 2014, at the age of 92 years. He left an estate with a value of about $917,000. Elias had made two Wills during his lifetime. His first Will made in 1992 left his entire estate to his brother Salim. His second and final Will made in 2014 left his entire estate to his neighbour Habib. This Will was made only 10 days before Elias' death. Salim challenged the 2014 Will and was successful. The Court found that Elias had lacked testamentary capacity at the time it was made.
