A lawyer representing a relative of Lionel Cox, a 92-year-old Melbourne man who passed in 2015, claimed the will leaving ex-nurse Abha Anuradha Kumar the large inheritance was created under 'the most suspicious circumstances imaginable'.
Last week, Supreme Court Justice Melissa Daly ordered the grant of probate be revoked, which gave Kumar the power to manage Mr Cox's estate.
Although the value of the estate has dropped due to a series of transfers made by Kumar to cover legal fees, the more than $880,000 that remains will be disbursed to Mr Cox's cousins, The Age reported.
Kumar was a manager at Cambridge House, a residential aged care facility in Collingwood - in Melbourne's inner-city, when she met Mr Cox in 2015, according to court documents.
She quickly learned the elder had no immediate family or will but owned a valuable property in nearby Fitzroy.
Kumar bought a will kit within three days of learning the ill and frail man's situation and three weeks later persuaded two other staff members of Cambridge House to witness his handwritten will, it was alleged in a statement of claim.
However, she failed to tell either that she was listed as the executor and sole beneficiary to Mr Cox's estate.
