Description
Frank v Angell [2024] NSWSC 158 Max Frederick Willis had a keen interest in the development of the Solomon Islands and in providing opportunities for people from the Solomon Islands to come to Australia to obtain tertiary qualifications. From 2015 until his death in 2021, Sharon Frank and her family lived in Max's house while she studied a Bachelor of Arts and a Masters of Arts at Western Sydney University. As well as free accommodation, Max loaned Sharon and her family significant funds to help them get by. Max died on 18 August 2021. His Will left Sharon $50,000 and rent free accommodation for a year, which would allow Sharon to finish her Masters degree and begin work as a teacher. However, Sharon never completed her Masters degree. She and her husband Kim Hagie made an application seeking further provision from Max's estate.
