Aussie multimillionaire leaves her daughters '30 pieces of silver,' or about $1.25 each
An Australian millionaire has left her three daughters "30 pieces of silver," amounting to about $1.25 each, from her estate of $3.2 million.
Valmai Roche of Adelaide effectively cut her daughters out of her will because she believed that they had plotted to kill her mother.
She left the same amount to her former husband, John Roche, who served as the city's mayor from 1975 to 1977.
She also left her daughters equal shares of her jewelry.
However, in a novel twist, she said the women, to claim the inheritance, must answer questions relating to her personal diaries from January 1974 until October 1981.
In a further snub to her children, Roche bequeathed her remaining millions to the Knights of the Southern Cross, a Catholic Church charity organization for men.
In an attempt to gain access to the money, her daughters Deborah Hamilton, Fiona Roche and Shauna Roche, have mounted a case in the South Australian Supreme Court. They claim their mother was delusional when she drew up the will in 1981.
Roche, who died last year at age 81, left her estranged daughters "30 pieces of silver of the lowest denomination of currency," or 30 five-cent pieces, claiming it was "blood money due to Judas."
The only change she made to the will was in 1987, when she stated that Fiona, now in charge of family businesses the Roche Group, could have a French Empire-style desk.
Roche "specifically excludes" her children and former husband, whom she divorced in 1983, "from any further benefits."
Court documents say Hamilton claimed that her mother had accused the women and their father of having "colluded" to kill Dorothy Haber, her mother.
Haber died in a nursing home in Plympton, South Australia. A spokesman for South Australia police said he had no knowledge of a criminal investigation into her death.
Hamilton said that her mother held "fixed, false and incorrigible views" about Haber's death. The case will return to court next month.
