A former Adelaide mayoress left her daughters just $1.50 each from her $3.5 million estate because she believed they plotted to kill her mother. At the rate Obama is raising taxes, if the mayoress had left all her money to her daughters, and if they all lived in the US, then all they would have gotten was $1.50 anyway. Well, give it a couple of years.

It's a shame that this person will be caring this bitterness for all eternity. If she had let it go years ago maybe she would of lived to be 100.

Just 2 of the 3 are contesting the will? Does that mean the 3rd daughter is conceding that they were plotting to kill the mother? Makes you wonder what the story is behind this family? Probably Jerry Springer TV!!
To: rustyboots
Or perhaps she just decided that you can’t get blood out of a turnip lol...

The one who isn’t contesting the will might have thought her mother was a malevolent old bat and she doesn’t want her stinkin’ money.
I know I feel that way about a certain wealthy relative of mine that will probably kick the bucket within the next few years...

Valmai Roche died last year aged 81 and stated in her will that her daughter's should be left "30 pieces of silver of the lowest denomination" — or 30 five cent pieces, the Adelaide Advertiser reports. That's more than $1.50. All Australian currency coins are copper-nickel alloy.
Current price of a ½oz. silver bullion coin ex Perth Mint is $A17.02. so each bequest is going to set the executors of the will back $A510.

It doesn’t necessarily mean she was bitter. She could have been just realistic.
She has a right to do with her money what she wants. Think of all the other people she blessed with the money.

Yeah, and it’s because of that attitude that I ain’t leaving you nothin’.
To: metmom
I concur - it was her money to do with as she saw fit.

Interesting thing is although they are trying to accuse their mother of being mentally unbalanced, I don’t know that they’re going to succeed. The way the woman had her will written up shows a clarity of thought they will have a hard time contesting.

Ms Roche also left "30 pieces of silver" for her ex-husband John Roche, who was Adelaide City Council Lord Mayor from 1975 to 1977. So she kept his title of mayor(ess) but left him diddley squat.

LOL. That is probably the case, but I couldn’t care less. I am not willing to kow-tow to a miserable excuse for a human being on the off-chance that she ‘might’ leave me some money. In fact, I wouldn’t even do so if it was a dead cert that she would if I did... There are some things more important than money, and unfortunately, she has never realised this, which is why she only has the company of people who are only interested in her because of her huge quantities of moolah...
To: a fool in paradise
I presume the divorce happened after her husband’s Mayoral career was over, therefore her being a ‘former’ mayoress is correct....
