HACKENSACK DIVORCE

In this litigation between siblings over the assets of their 96-year-old mother, who designated them both co-attorneys-in-fact under a durable Power of Attorney, the appellate panel affirms the orders of the trial judge who, after an accounting, removed the daughter as attorney-in-fact and allowed the appointed guardian ad litem for the mother to negotiate a settlement with the son, so that the mother's estate would not be burdened by the cost of her children's dispute.      Webb, etc. v. Webb, Jr., New Jersey App. Div., February 28, 2007
