Re MP’s Statutory Will [2019] NSWSC 331

Millie Phillips was once known as the richest woman in Australia. But by 2019 she was incapacitated, and it looked like she was going to die without a Will.

Her entire estate of about $110million would go to her two children and not as she would have wanted.

What was to be done?

Her grandson applied to the Supreme Court to make a Will for her, a "Statutory Will".
