Summary of article on People.com.The Australian Supreme Court ordered a former nurse, Abha Anuradha Kumar, to return $550,000 she inherited from a 92-year-old patient, Lionel Cox, whom she knew for only 24 days. The court ruled that Cox's will, naming Kumar as the sole beneficiary, was created under suspicious circumstances. Kumar's inheritance was initially over $1 million but decreased due to legal fees. This action follows a 2019 ruling that banned Kumar from practicing nursing due to misconduct. The case highlights concerns about vulnerable elderly individuals being exploited.
