The applicant moved to be appointed as litigation guardian and guardian of property for her sister, the respondent, in the context of an underlying application regarding the ownership of a shared property.
The respondent was assessed by a designated capacity assessor and found incapable of managing property and highly susceptible to undue influence.
The court found that the respondent required a litigation guardian and a guardian of property.
Due to severe family acrimony and conflicts of interest among the siblings regarding the property dispute, the court declined to appoint any family member.
Instead, the court appointed the Public Guardian and Trustee as both litigation guardian and guardian of property.
