My aunty passed away last year in NSW. All family live in Qld.

She had two younger people move in some 18months prior to her being placed in a home as she was suffering dementia. She left her entire estate to them - some $3-$4m. A "hold" has been put on the Will for the families to contest.

However, quite a number of disturbing stories from fellow family members, neighbours, a doctor, a nurse etc etc have "come to light" that would indicate possible and I would think "elderly abuse". All stories are in writing and all prepared to go to court.

At which stage should we contact the police ? Before or after the Will is sorted ?
