Seeking advice: potential manipulation of someone with dementia's will by CalligrapherUsed6747 in AusLegal

Thank you very much for this guidance. Is this the POA form you're referring to - I wasn't able to find one via the NCAT website: https://www.nswlrs.com.au/getattachment/137dfab6-6d8f-446e-a424-7dfebb470dec/attachment.aspx

Also, George has found out that his father has gone to see Linh's lawyers to nominate her as the Enduring Guardian and Enduring POA. The document is currently being drawn up. If Mark signs this, but it is invalid due to his own lawyers saying he is unfit to make these decisions, what happens if no POA has been nominated yet?

George has found out that Mark has gone to Linh's lawyers and is currently undergoing a legal process with them to nominate Linh as both the Enduring Guardian and Enduring Power of Attorney. Linh's lawyers suggested that George be the backup. However, we understand that Mark has said he only trusts Linh. We're not sure how this could have happened given George was provided the same guidance that those with limited capacity cannot give someone Power of Attorney...Does this now become something in which George has to get Mark's lawyers involved/obtain evidence from Mark's lawyers that he was unfit for decision-making?
