SUCCESSION: Another forged Will
Listen now
Description
CASE: Alan John Hyland as executor of the estate of the late John Walter Popham Luscombe v Healy [2013] NSWSC 1513 Herbert Walter Luscombe died in January 2009 at the age of 98. He left an estate worth $3.4 million that he had intended to leave to his closest relative, his nephew John Luscombe. It was a surprise to everyone when Laura Healy came forward to claim that she and Herbert had been friends for 17 years and had been lovers. She even had Herbert's last Will signed by him on 28 October 2006, in which he left his entire estate to Laura. There was something fishy about this Will though. It wasn't made with his usual solicitor. It was supposedly signed in the lobby of a club in front of two strangers. It also wasn't Herbert's normal signature on the documents. Was it a forgery? Had Herbert even known Laura?
