Just in Case LawAuthor: Tanya Chapman
Hear about some of the most interesting Australian legal cases, including deceased estates, forged Wills, financial abuse, divorce and family law disputes, professional and medical negligence, and any other case that has enough drama to be worth discussing. I'm a solicitor specialising in Wills, Estates & Elder Law, so I kinda know what I'm talking about and will try to make it all make sense. This podcast is absolutely not legal advice or a dull legal lecture, but is more a legal soap opera! If you love true crime, but need a break from all the murder, this is the podcast for you!

Saturday, 7 November, 2026
CASE 1: Mary Alice Hughes by her tutor NSW Trustee and Guardian v Hughes [2011] NSWSC 702CASE 2: Cohen v Cohen [2016] NSWSC 336In this episode we look at two cases in which an attorney appointed under a Power of Attorney misuses their powers to benefit themselves. In the case of Hughes, Mary Hughes son Dr Anthony Hughes sold her home and kept most of the proceeds for himself. In the case of Cohen, Avova Cohen's son Shalom Cohen transferred her Lane Cove property into his own name. We end the episode with some tips on what to do if you suspect that your attorney or someone else's attorney is misusing their attorney powers.
