Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Georgia

If an elderly woman�s daughter dies "intestate" and there was a hand written will, although not notarized due to the complexity and sudden threat of death of the deceased to keep quiet of mismanagement of the company�s books. Do to the fact that the elderly woman cannot read and comprehend legal documents, therefore signed major documents to sell the business, name a CEO,CFO, and CFO of the company of the deceased in exchange for the newly so called CEO to pay for the burial since the elderly woman could not afford such an expense. This was all done without knowing what she had done. Someone that cannot read and comprehend these things should be protected by law. Is this correct? This elderly woman is my aunt, the mother of my beloved cousin which died a horrific and untimely death. My Aunt was forced under duress to sign a �power of attorney�, naming an ex boyfriend of the deceased. I know from fact that my Aunt is not capable of reading and understanding these complex legal papers. What should I do?
