KATIE is in her 30s. She suffers from a number of serious mental and physical disabilities. Since birth, Katie
has been cared for by her aunt, Mary. Katie's biological parents have been absent for most of her life.
Several years ago, Katie's grandmother left her a sub-stantial inheritance to assist her in dealing with het
dis-abilities. The funds have been held by the New South Wales Trustee and Guardian and some of the
funds have been released to pay for medical costs and modifica-tions to Mary's home to assist Katie in
managing her disabilities.
Katie has never married and has no children. She has three siblings and her biolog-ical parents are still
alive. Katie's disabilities mean that her life expectancy is rela-tively short.
Although Katie's disabilities would prevent her from making a will, she has expressed concerns to Mary regarding how her trust fund will be dealt with upon her death. Mary makes an appoint-ment with her Coffs
Harbour solicitor in order to obtain advice regarding Katie's concerns.
The solicitor advises Mary that without a will, Katie's estate, including the sub-stantial trust fund, will go to
Katie's parents equally ac-cording to the rules of "in-testacy". The solicitor con-firms that Katie does not
have the capacity to make a will, leaving her estate to her preferred beneficiaries. The solicitor informs
Mary that the Supreme Court has the ability to make a "stat-utory will" that would pre-vent Katie's estate
going to her parents.
With the assistance of her solicitor, Mary applies to the court, seeking an order that a will is made to the
effect that
Mary and Katie's three si-blings each receive a quarter of Katie's estate.
The court decides that it is likely that if Katie had capac-ity, she would make sub-stantial provision for Mary.
The court also considered Katie's limited relationship with her siblings.
The court ultimately de-cides to make a "statutory will" for Katie. Mary is plea-santly surprised when she
discovers that "given the sacrifices she has made" for Katie, the court makes a will giving her 55% of
Katie's estate and 15% to each of Katie's siblings.
