CASE: Irvine v Irvine [2008] NSWSC 592 In the middle of his ongoing legal battle with his sister Elizabeth over their late father's estate, Maxwell Irvine took some time to reconnect with his aunt Rosa. Rosa was a 90 year old widow living alone in Orange and her only real asset of value was her house. Within a year, Maxwell had convinced his aunt that Elizabeth had abandoned her and that Rosa needed to appoint him as her attorney and to leave her house to him and his two sons in her Will. But you know, on second thought, Max decided why wait? He took Rosa to his solicitor to sign over her house to him and his two sons immediately. Not long after the transfer was registered, Rosa realised what she had done and started legal proceedings to get her house back.
