Betty Dyke had no interest in money, court told
By Norrie Ross
November 13, 2008
AN ELDERLY spinster who left $15 million to her neighbours in her will had no need for money, one of the beneficiaries told a court yesterday.
Tim Knaggs said Betty Dyke "just wanted to make sure she had friends" and was extremely generous to people who helped her. He said she had no interest in material things.
Ms Dyke resisted attempts to improve her living conditions, he said, but the beneficiaries agreed to support her to the end.
"If she thought she was buying friends then 'good on you Betty'," he said. Mr Knaggs earlier told the Supreme Court will battle that Ms Dyke sold off a portion of her land in 2000 for $1.3 million and divided the proceeds between he and his wife Denise and two other neighbouring couples.
The hearing is expected to continue today.
