The court refused to appoint a Part II committee because, on the evidence, there were insufficient positive findings of abuse or undue influence to justify overriding the donor's autonomy embodied in duly executed EPOAs; the MIP's pre-incapacity wishes carried significant weight; appointment risked intrusive collateral use of confidential materials, multiplicity and duplication with existing proceedings, and practical futility given the context; disclosure of court-appointed experts' reports for other proceedings was refused to protect confidentiality and prevent abuse of the Part II forum.
