After their mother died intestate, boys reject the claim that documents presented by her lawyer and carer represent her final intentions
An unsigned will has emerged as the crux of the battle over Virginia Giuffre’s estate.
Details of the document surfaced on Friday as hearings began at Western Australia’s supreme court where her sons, her longtime lawyer and her former carer are all vying for control of the assets.
Documents tendered in court reveal that in the weeks before her death in April, Giuffre wrote a will and contacted her lawyer, Karrie Louden, to have it prepared.
But she died on a small Western Australian farm, 80km north of Perth, before signing or having the document witnessed – leaving the estate officially intestate.
