CASE: Milewski v Holben [2014] NSWSC 388

Colin Robert Holben died when he was 50 years old. His last Will created an overly complex structure of testamentary trusts to hold his $11 million estate for his family.

His family consisted of his wife Lisa and their two teenage sons.

But Colin had been married before, to Adele Judith Milewski. They had divorced 16 years before Colin's death.

And Colin died, Adele made an application for provision from her ex-husband’s estate and, due to some unique circumstances, was successful.
