A sister challenged the validity of a Lasting Power of Attorney executed by their elderly sibling P (who lacked mental capacity) naming another sister as donee, alleging the LPA was obtained through undue influence and that the donee was mismanaging P's affairs. The court examined the circumstances of the LPA's execution, P's testamentary history, and an accountant's report on the management of P's finances.
