Mrs Charlotte Greedy is a wealthy lady, in her mid-80's, living alone in Melbourne. She is increasingly lonely and wants a companion to live with her, and assist where possible, play cards with her, watch television, and take her to the movies and shopping.

Charlotte writes to her niece, Rosie, who lives in Spain, and has a well-paid job in a bank, with the promise of earning a very good income in the next few years.

Charlotte and Rosie exchange many phone conversations and after 3 months, Rosie quits her job in Spain, sells her possessions , particularly her flat, at a loss, and spends $15,000 of her own money, moving to Melbourne , in order to look after her aunt.

Charlotte has promised to allow Rosie to live in her house rent free, with all food and utilities paid for, and provide her with an allowance of $800 cash per week. Rosie can also drive her aunt's Jaguar car, and Charlotte has also promised to buy her new clothes twice a year.

Charlotte has promised to change her Will, and has told Rosie that she will leave all her assets and property to Rosie upon her death.

Unfortunately, after 6 months of moving into her Aunt's house, Rosie and her Aunt have a big argument, and Charlotte orders Rosie to leave the house, get out of her life, and tells her that "you are on your own now, and you will not get one cent from me when I die, as I am changing my Will to exclude you"

You are Rosie's lawyer.

Advise Rosie what legal actions should could take to sue her Aunt and obtain what she was promised
