The daughter of notorious, slain gangland figure Carl Williams will this week reportedly file a motion to sue her mother over her lost inheritance.
Dhakota Williams, 17, inherited her grandfather’s Primrose Street townhouse in Essendon, Victoria, a $1 million property where Roberta Williams and her family have lived since 2008.
Unfortunately George Williams also left Dhakota with a $576,000 tax debt, which has since expanded to more than $900,000, according to the Herald Sun.
The Essendon townhouse will be sold before the end of the year – and it’s expected Dhakota will be left with nothing as the Australian Tax Office will scoop up the proceeds.

Roberta Williams lost a battle with the ATO less than a month ago after she appealed the payment of the tax debt on behalf of her daughter.
She had been hoping courts would enforce a deal made between Dhakota’s father and the Victoria Police before he died.
Barrister John Selimi said: ‘Carl Williams was promised his father’s tax debt would be wiped off and the reason that was done was so George Williams would be capable of giving that house to Carl Williams’ daughter.’

Subsequently, Dhakota Williams will this week serve a writ on her mother and her grandfather’s de facto partner, Kathleen Bourke, to fight for a portion of the remainder of her George Williams’ estate – specifically the Broadmeadows house George Williams left Bourke.

The house in question is the home in which Carl Williams was raised and spent his childhood. It is valued at approximately $650,000.
The entire ordeal may force Ms Bourke to sell the home.
Dhakota Williams has already set the action in motion, filing an originating motion in the Supreme Court in 2017 signalling her intention to sue the estate’s co-executors, her mother Roberta and Ms Bourke.

Her mother had previously disputed George Williams’ final will on grounds of his mental state only months after the prison murder of his notorious son Carl in 2010.
The year prior to the death, George Williams’ will left his spouse with only $130,000.
