Legal dispute over Dr Harry Nespolon’s $4m death benefits heads to court
The court must decide if the former RACGP president was affected by medication when he signed the forms shortly before his death
More than $4 million from the estate of former RACGP president Dr Harry Nespolon is being contested in court, with lawyers arguing over whether he had capacity to change his wishes two days before he died.
Dr Nespolon died in 2020 from pancreatic cancer partway through his presidential tenure, leaving behind his wife and their two young daughters.
