Barrister’s $27m estate to be distributed to controversial parties
By Naomi Neilson|13 April 2021
The NSW Supreme Court has examined the “suspicious circumstances” behind the multiple wills of a prominent, deceased barrister whose later life was marred by deteriorating health, an “exploitative” affiliation with a man many years his junior and complicated and ever-shifting relationships with many close friends and family.
Although notoriously a “penny pincher”, deceased barrister David Rolfe enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, friendships with prominent people and an estate valued at $27 million. Between 1995 and 2014, Mr Rofe drafted several wills distributing this value between several parties who are now debating what they should be owed.
