CASE: Adams v R [2019] NSWCCA 295 Edna Pearson was 77 years old and suffering from vascular dementia when she met 34-year-old Victoria Adams. Victoria quickly became Edna's cleaner. She and her family inserted themselves into Edna’s life, providing assistance until Edna was completely dependent upon them. But theirs was not a fortuitous and altruistic friendship. Victoria had identified Edna as elderly, incapacitated person of significant means. She established and maintained a relationship with Edna for the sole purpose of gaining a financial benefit. The plan might have been successful too, had Victoria not taken it too far by forging Edna’s Will. An action which led her facing criminal charges and a prison sentence.
