Gerard Baden-Clay removed from wife Allison's will

Murderer Gerard Baden-Clay will not receive a cent of his wife Allison's $1 million estate.

Allison's parents, Priscilla and Geoffrey Dickie have taken full control of her estate, which includes a life insurance payout and superannuation, after making an uncontested application in the Brisbane Supreme Court on Thursday.

Baden-Clay won't get a cent

The Supreme Court rules that Gerard Baden-Clay will not be entitled to any of his murdered wife Allison's $1 million estate. Nine News

Justice Peter Applegarth ruled in favour of the application, saying Baden-Clay was not entitled to the money.

"Gerard Robert Baden-Clay is not entitled to obtain or receive any benefit that he would have otherwise obtained or received arising from the death of the deceased,"

It marked what may be the last time Allison's family will need to attend court, following years of trials and appeals that have been the subject of often intense public attention.

Baden-Clay is serving a sentence of life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 15 years for Allison's 2012 murder.

His murder conviction was temporarily downgraded by Queensland's Court of Appeal in December 2015 on the grounds prosecutors had failed at his trial to put forward the possibility the real-estate agent killed his wife unintentionally.

The decision sparked protests and was ultimately overturned by the High Court in August 2016.
