CASE: Sadiq v NSW Trustee and Guardian [2015] NSWSC 716

When Christina Coombes died in June 2013, she left behind a decrepit home in Paddington, Sydney, and no Will.

After her death, Waleed Sadiq, a man 18 years her junior, claimed to have been in a romantic relationship with Christina for the past 17 years.

However, there was no record of Christina ever having a parter and her neighbours said that Waleed was just man who came by sometimes selling junk door-to-door.

Which was it? Was he her devoted spouse or a canny salesman who spotted an opportunity?
