The applicants challenged the capacity of Anastasia Helen Troy ("Ann") when she signed her 2022 will and powers of attorney (POAs), alleging incapacity and undue influence.
They sought a declaration that Ann is currently incapable, appointment as guardians, and an accounting.
The respondents moved to dismiss the application.
The court dismissed the challenge to the will, stating it cannot be challenged while the testator is alive.
However, the court found sufficient "suspicious circumstances" to allow the challenge to the 2022 POAs to proceed, noting concerns about Ann's cognitive decline and the respondents' conduct.
The court denied the request for an accounting at this stage due to no direct evidence of mismanagement but granted directions for medical record disclosure and ordered parties to conduct themselves respectfully around Ann.
