Re Rattle [2018] VSC 249 In the last episode, we looked at the trial of Michael O'Neill who pleaded guilty to murdering his partner Stuart Rattle in 2013. In this episode, we look at the complex legal proceedings that followed to determine who would inherit Stuart's $1million estate. The proceedings involved: an informal Will the left Stuart's estate to the partner who killed him, Michael, the application of the forfeiture rule to ensure that Michael didn't benefit from his crime, and a surprise family provision claim from a person Stuart had never met in his life.
