Rick Moranis\u2019 shock new life now at 73<\/a><\/p>\n \u2018S**t\u2019: Broke American Pie star\u2019s shock fortune<\/a><\/p>\n Australian motorsport legend Peter Brock built a property collection across Victoria.<\/p>\n Hurstbridge Childhood Home <\/p>\n Built in 1949, the weatherboard cottage in Hurstbridge was where Brock grew up alongside his parents and three brothers. <\/p>\n The home famously went without electricity for its first seven years before being extended as the family grew. <\/p>\n The garage floorboards historically retained oil stains left behind from Brock\u2019s first homemade Austin 7 race car project. <\/p>\n Decades after leaving family hands, the three-bedroom house sold at auction for $893,000.<\/p>\n Peter Brock\u2019s former childhood home sold at auction for $893,000.<\/p>\n Nutfield Family Mansion <\/p>\n In 1989, Brock and his then long-time partner Bev Brock built a massive 68ha lifestyle estate in Nutfield. <\/p>\n Serving as the primary family residence during the peak and second half of his touring car career, the mansion housed his personal memorabilia collection and famous trophy room. <\/p>\n The estate was sold just months prior to his tragic death at a West Australian rally in 2006. <\/p>\n Brock also held a joint residence in St Andrews with his then-fiancee Julie Bamford, as well as a family holiday home in Port Douglas, Queensland.<\/p>\n Peter Brock\u2019s former farm sold just months prior to his death in 2006. . Picture: Supplied<\/p>\n Brock also held a joint residence in St Andrews with his then-fiancee Julie Bamford.<\/p>\n Three wills<\/p>\n However, Brock\u2019s approach to legal and financial affairs created a legal feud over these assets.<\/p>\n When he passed away in 2006, Brock left behind three conflicting documents: a solicitor-drafted 1984 will favouring Bev Brock and their children, an unsigned 2006 document prepared by an assistant favouring Julie Bamford; and a 2003 DIY \u201cWill Kit.\u201d<\/p>\n Brock had signed the 2003 DIY document but left the asset distribution section entirely blank, telling Bev he trusted her to fill in the details later.<\/p>\n In October 2007, a court decided that Peter Brock\u2019s 2003 homemade will was legal enough to cancel out his previous 1984 will, even though it hadn\u2019t been witnessed correctly.<\/p>\n However, because the blank form contained no instructions on how to divide his assets, Brock technically died intestate, without a functional will.<\/p>\n Brock with his then-partner Beverley and children Robert and Alexandra<\/p>\n Brock with his then-fiancee Julie Bamford.<\/p>\n Under Victorian intestacy laws, an estate automatically passes to biological descendants. <\/p>\n Brock\u2019s $3.3m gross estate bypassed Bev Brock, his stepson James, and fiancee Julie Bamford, landing solely with his biological children, Robert and Alexandra Brock. <\/p>\n While stepson James was legally excluded, his biological siblings later agreed to share the estate equally with him, while Ms Bamford settled a family provision claim out of court.<\/p>\n While his personal real estate portfolio was settled through court rulings, individual pieces of Brock\u2019s racing legacy have exploded in value posthumously. <\/p>\n Collections of his Bathurst-winning Commodores and daily drivers have repeatedly fetched record-breaking multimillion-dollar figures at public auctions long after his passing.<\/p>\n MORE: Vanished *NSYNC star\u2019s shock life at 49<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
