GP back in court again after securing $30 million in patient’s will

A GP who inherited most of his patient’s $30 million estate is headed back to court after two other beneficiaries and the Salvation Army took the case to the NSW Court of Appeal.

Last year, Dr Peter Alexakis overcame a Supreme Court of NSW challenge from the charity and the other beneficiaries, who argued he unduly influenced terminally ill patient Raymond McClure to leave him the bulk of the estate.

Mr McClure, who made his millions trading property and shares, had no partner or children when he died in November 2017 from colorectal cancer, aged 80.

His final will left Dr Alexakis his $3 million Sydney home and 90% of his residual estate.
