Anderson v. Anderson

Because there was record evidence which, if believed, would establish that the decedent expressly directed his son, as his attorney-in-fact, to use his power of attorney to execute deeds conveying certain real property to the decedent's children six days before his death, there was a genuine issue of disputed fact pertaining to the son's legal authority to execute the deeds, and the trial court erred in granting partial summary judgment to the decedent's widow on her claim to set those deeds aside.
