## Opinion text

FEW, C.J.,
concurring in part, and dissenting in part.
I concur in the majority’s decision to affirm partial summary judgment to Underwood on the only two issues raised in her motion: (1) Did Watson grant Underwood power of attorney; and (2) Did Underwood have authority under that power of attorney to create an irrevocable trust. Because Underwood’s motion raised no other issues, I would vacate all other relief granted by the circuit court.
