The applicant brought a motion seeking various orders regarding the property of his 85-year-old mother, who suffers from progressive dementia.
The applicant sought to cancel a 2013 Power of Attorney granted to his brothers, compel the passing of accounts, obtain medical and legal records, and secure a preservation order.
The court ordered the Public Guardian and Trustee to arrange legal representation for the mother and ordered the production of specific medical records from 2013.
However, the court dismissed the requests to cancel the Power of Attorney, compel the drafting lawyer's files, order the passing of accounts, and grant a preservation order, finding insufficient evidence of incapacity at the time of signing or financial mismanagement by the attorneys.
