In their legal role under a power of attorney document, Joe Overtveld's children have filed an application to annul his recent marriage to a woman 36 years his junior.
"I want company. I want a woman that takes care of me, somebody who has a heart," Joe Overtveld said in an interview at his Ottawa apartment. Gilles Jozias Overtveld, known to his friends as Joe, likes to say he arrived in Canada from the Netherlands in 1953 with $5 in his pocket. By 2017, Joy Overtveld said her father was "no longer able to understand business reports, [and the] financial statements" of his company.Joe Overtveld disputes this. "I haven't changed a bit," he told CBC. "I find that my memory is better than most of the people I know."
In his affidavit, Todd Overtveld agreed that his father was "uncharacteristically mean" toward his sister and tried to micromanage her, even though her work was "crucial to the real revenue gains" the company made. From August 2018, Joe's children assumed control of his finances, transferring his money into a trust they now manage. They also removed his passport and photo ID from his home because they were concerned their aging father could fall victim to identity theft.- Todd Overtveld, in an affidavit
They arranged for a third assessment, and it reiterated what the first one had found: that their father was incapable of managing his property or personal care, and therefore couldn't revoke the POA he'd signed leaving his children in charge of his property. "I think he felt very lonely," Youmouri said. "He was by himself. He needed somebody to live with, and that's fair."Protecting father from 'financial predators'
They claim Youmouri was just one of a handful of women to whom their father was proposing marriage at the time, and they allege she neither spoke to their father on the phone nor visited him regularly before the wedding. Based on footage captured by a surveillance camera installed outside their father's apartment, they said they "found no evidence" of Youmouri visiting "until a few days prior to her purported marriage.
Ottawa Very sad story. If I am Joe, I would sell all my businesses (I guess too late now) and move into a private senior housing. I then donate all my money to senior housing after I die. I do not trust his children, his 35 years friend and his new wife. Poor Joe!

Ottawa LeslynLewis PhD In Law with an incredible resume, is the 3rd authorized Candidate for the Conservative Leadership. She is a black woman, and the other two are white males. Why doesn’t she get an interview with CBC? Isn’t this sexism and racism? She has big SM following, too!
Ottawa I think your supposed to challenge your parent's mental capacity in advance but when he comes back as fully capable I hope he leaves his kids out of it. Too many people act as if their parent's wealth is theirs.
Ottawa Your wealth can be scammed easy. protecting it is not. It’s your money yes. it’s not just the father’s. we make choices at a vulnerable age, losing our wealth is so easy. He can marry without his sharing it. you’re so in love. This is your focus. You’re alive & valid on your own
Ottawa Such a terrible story...
Ottawa I think it was wrong what his children are doing. Let him marry and have companionship and happiness before he dies!
Ottawa Absolutely appalling. It's not their father they're concerned about, it's his money.
Ottawa So sad on every angle.
