Broke Heiress Living On Welfare Cannot Access Her $12 Million Fortune Until She Gets A Job

A $12 million inheritance will be passed down to Clare Brown, a resident of Mount Druitt in western Sydney.

Family members and the trustees of the 26-year-old heiress' father's will, however, have put a freeze on the inheritance.

Since then, members of her family have commented on the claimed provisions of Clare's father's will.

Jimmy, Clare's cousin, asserted that if the heiress satisfies two straightforward requirements, she can "access all the money [she] likes."

He told 9 Now's A Current Affair: "One clause was to get a job. The second clause was to contribute something to society."

The two clauses, according to Clare, are impossible for her to fulfill.

Due to her Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and high-functioning autism, Clare has claimed that she is unable to get employment.

She also attributes the difficulty of implementing the condition to financial reductions for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

As a result, the 26-year-old has pleaded with her family to "please stop with the whole point of [her] getting a job."

She continued: "I understand why these people want me to be a functioning member of society, however, you have to look at my diagnosis and realize that is not going to happen. I am not going to learn how to drive because I have ADHD. I have the attention span of a gnat."

Lauren, Clare's wife, has additionally asserted that the 26-year-old is unable of taking a job.

"She doesn't have an executive function in the head. Our cats would not get fed, they would starve - because she would not remember that they need to eat," Lauren said.

Clare resolved: "It's not going to happen. I am broke constantly and can't do anything about it."

In the western suburbs of Sydney, Clare currently resides with Lauren and the couple's daughter. She now depends on Centrelink welfare benefits, as opposed to when her father was still alive when she earned $500 each week.

She claims that when her father, stockbroker Chris, was still alive, he often "cut her off" and "financially abused" her.

Chris passed away in January of this year.

Clare has worked in the past despite her health issues. However, her employment as a barista was over in less than an hour.

Additionally, she finished some volunteer work for Autism Australia.

The 26-year-old has claimed that companies are less eager to "give individuals a chance" now as a result of the National Disability Insurance Scheme cuts, which means that even if she still has a caretaker, there is less funding available.

Since then, Clare has decided to challenge the validity of the will in court.

She has claimed that she is "suffering" because she is not receiving what she is entitled to under the terms of the will and that the inheritance is still "rightfully [hers]" despite not having complied with the two provisions.

Her family, though, has ridiculed her justifications for being unemployed.

They said: "We'd like her to get a job and contribute to society. Instead of her agreeing to her dead dad's wishes, she turned around and sued her trust.”

"We are at our wit's end. We have done nothing but love Clare."
