The applicant sought to invalidate powers of attorney (POAs) executed by Janina Jackiewicz in 2021, which appointed the respondent, Yolanta Zawadzinski, as attorney.
The applicant also sought to confirm the validity of earlier 2019 POAs, which appointed the applicant.
The court found suspicious circumstances surrounding the 2021 POAs, including Ms. Jackiewicz's diminished capacity and the respondent's undue influence, supported by a capacity assessment report.
The court declared the 2021 POAs invalid and the 2019 POAs valid and operative.
The respondent was ordered to provide an accounting of Ms. Jackiewicz's property managed since October 2021.
