Description
Jane Pollack appeals from the appointment of Harry J. Jordan as general guardian and conservator for her aunt, Mollie Orshansky. In addition to challenging the probate courts jurisdiction, Ms. Pollack principally contends that the court abused its discretion when it rejected Ms. Orshanskys own arrangements for her incapacity and, against her and her familys wishes, appointed Mr. Jordan, a District of Columbia lawyer who had no prior relationship with her. Mr. Jordan, joined by Tanja H. Castro, the attorney whom the probate court appointed to represent Ms. Orshansky, argues that Ms. Pollack has no standing to pursue this appeal. As well, both Mr. Jordan and Ms. Castro ask us to uphold the probate courts jurisdiction and affirm its rulings on the merits.
