Chapter 21 - The Capacity Petition
Daniel and Denise had prepared a court petition.
It claimed Margaret could no longer manage complex property.
They listed examples from edited videos.
They intended to file it after the reunion if she refused to sign.
Daniel would request temporary control of the trust.
The petition named Evan and Tyler as witnesses.
Evan had agreed.
Tyler had not seen the final document.
Margaret read the allegations.
Memory loss.
Emotional instability.
Unsafe decision-making.
Dependence on others.
None was supported by medical evidence.
Rebecca arranged an independent evaluation.
Margaret passed every cognitive test.
The physician documented that she was fully capable of managing her affairs.
The fraudulent petition was never filed.
But the draft proved intent.
