4. Did you hear about Patrick (Hickin v Carroll & Ors),
the guy who left his estate to his 4 children on the
condition that they were all baptised Catholic within 3
months of his death and that they attend his
funeral. Patrick’s wife was a practising Jehovah’s
Witness and all 4 children were baptised as
Jehovah’s Witnesses.
5. Patrick was staunchly opposed to his children
being association with that faith. Each child
attended the funeral but none of them chose to be
baptised Catholic. The NSW Supreme Court
upheld the conditions of Patrick’s Will. In many
instances, this may not have been the case as
Courts are usually unwilling to uphold a condition
on public policy grounds.
6. If you wish to place a condition in your will, we
recommend that you speak to one of our
experienced solicitors to ensure that your wishes
are carried out.
