Case Four

Recently I took instructions from a lady who had been looking for her father. She had been able to trace the family through Heritage and finally made contact with a man she thought was her father. They corresponded and were going to have a DNA test, however he died suddenly from a heart attack before that was done.

He left a sizable estate to distant family members.

I was able to take out an injunction against the NSW Coroner to prevent the body being destroyed and have a NSW Supreme Court Judge order DNA testing.

This was done and the result was that he was her father.

We contested the Will and the matter was settled favourably to us at Mediation. If the DNA testing had not been done, we would not have been successful
