My father had insisted I update my will after marriage, and I had not looked at it in years.

Among the documents was an unsigned draft trust amendment.

It proposed transferring control of my voting shares to a trustee selected by Preston if a medical professional certified that I was unable to manage financial decisions.

That might have been defensible as part of legitimate incapacity planning, except the draft was accompanied by an email printout from Lorraine to Preston.

We only need her to look unstable long enough for the board to accept the temporary arrangement.
