Will dispute ends in probate court ruling
In Victoria’s Probate Court Emma Amelia Davies seeks to revoke probate of the will of Devian, a Tahitian gravester from Ayola near Wanganella, claiming the testator was not of sound mind in 1944 and harbored delusions against her. The will left about 34,000 with a son receiving 530 while his daughter inherits nothing. The case, involving executors Francia Lao Kell and Aaheesri WRG, remains unfinished.
