Winehouse v Parry & Anor [2026] EWHC 911 (KB) (20 April 2026)
High Court trial over disputed Amy Winehouse property sold at auction, considering ownership, gifts, conversion, limitation, and fiduciary duty.
The tribunal dismissed a mother’s land registration applications, finding the properties were gifts to her daughter and that the presumption of advancement was not rebutted.
The will made reasonable financial provision for Mrs Sim by granting her a life interest in the residue of the estate, after payment of pecuniary legacies, and she had adequate financial resources via pension and retained interest in the Dubai property. The only failure was not providing for rent-free accommodation; the court varied the trust to require trustees to set aside up to ÂŁ400,000 for purchase of a property for Mrs Sim to occupy rent-free for life. Claims to alleged gifts (piano, Bentley, Mercedes, Jaguar) were dismissed except for paintings and replacement for the Porsche.
