The will-maker was a father who had three children and several grandchildren, each of whom were left a certain amount of money under the will. However, this money was tied up in property, a superannuation fund and an insurance policy at the time of his death. The residue of the estate was also left to his third wife, despite the fact that they appeared to have a strained relationship in the years approaching his death. There was an inadequate amount of money available to his children and grandchildren to support their current and future needs.
