KOROHEKE v TE WHAU (the Estate of Mona Disher) [2020] NZHC 863
- Citation
- [2020] NZHC 863
- Court
- High Court
The High Court set aside the Family Court decision because the Family Court failed adequately to assess the appellants' financial needs at the date of death and prioritised the testatrix's wish to retain land over the primary inquiry whether adequate provision for maintenance and support had been made; the High Court held the testatrix had a moral duty to each appellant and ordered specified monetary provision from the estate to repair the breach.
