Syllabus

Motion to enforce arbitration arbitration agreement valid contract apparent authority or apparent agency burden of proof equitable estoppel moot implied authority. The trial court erred when it granted defendants' motion to stay proceedings and compel arbitration where the record did not establish that the nursing home resident cloaked her daughter with authority to execute a binding arbitration agreement. Absent the daughter's apparent authority to execute the arbitration agreement on behalf of her mother, the resident was not bound by the arbitration agreement.
