The applicant son brought a motion within an application regarding his elderly mother's capacity and the management of her property by his sister.
The mother had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, but the sister disputed the diagnosis and procured new powers of attorney in her favour.
The court found reasonable grounds to believe the mother was incapable of managing her property and personal care, noting flaws in previous capacity assessments arranged by the sister.
The court ordered a comprehensive capacity assessment, a functional assessment, and conditionally ordered the sister to pass her accounts.
