A legal feud over the will of infamous Sydney bikie identity, Ricky Ciano, has erupted between his widow and ex wife.
Surfers Paradise former model, Rachel Elizabeth Ciano, and NSW Central Coast woman Bianca Barnier, have begun disputing what the former Rebels president intended to leave them, and his daughter, Imogen.
Ms Ciano claimed the final will, which she said left everything to her besides $10,000 for his daughter, was lost in the clean-up of his unit, Gold Coast Bulletin reports.
In the lead up to Ms Ciano applying for probate of the will, Ms Barnier informed the courts of her intention to challenge its validity.

She believes Mr Ciano would not have made a will leaving just $10,000 to Imogen.
Ms Ciano accused her deceased partner’s ex wife of being a ‘scab’ in text messages filed as part of the case in the Supreme Court in Brisbane.
She slammed Ms Barnier, the mother of Mr Ciano’s six-year-old daughter, saying she ‘was calling people the day after (Ciano) was found dead about what payouts she could get.’
The stay-at-home mother also accused Ms Barnier of taking a $7000 bed and other items from Mr Ciano’s Sydney bolthole after he died.

She complained in text messages to a friend saying she had to purchase a new bed because Ms Barnier was too lazy to get a job and buy her own.
‘Everyone just want to scab every little thing they can!’ Ms Ciano wrote.
Ms Barnier, who was married to Mr Ciano for seven years, told the court her ex husband had ‘taken out a $1 million insurance policy’ about a year before he died which was to be split between Imogen and Ms Ciano.
She said Ms Ciano told her after Mr Ciano died that the policy had lapsed.
She also accused Ms Ciano of not including expensive Rolex watches and other jewelery items in his list of assets.

Mr Ciano’s decomposing body was found in the back of his $130,000 BMW on February 14 last year near Oberon, in the NSW Central Tablelands, two days after his wife reported him missing.
The 35-year-old and his wife, who married in 2015, were expecting a baby boy, after two years and ten rounds of IVF when he died.
Police have still not revealed how Ciano died, however were treating his death as suspicious when they found his body.
