California Court of Appeal, 5th District June 14, 2017, C074846 (Hutcheson v. Eskaton Fountainwood Lodge)

NICHOLSON, Acting P.J.

This case turns on whether an attorney-in-fact who admitted her principal to a residential care facility for the elderly made a "health care" decision. If she did, as the trial court found, she acted outside the scope of her authority under the power of attorney, and the admission agreement she signed, and its arbitration clause this appeal seeks to enforce, are void.
