Charles Melton, Individually and as Personal Representative for the Estate of Betty Ruth Shaw Morgan v. Michael Melton

Syllabus

This is an action against the former attorney-in-fact of the decedent for breach of fiduciary duties and conversion. The trial court granted summary judgment against the attorney-infact and awarded damages to the estate. The attorney-in-fact appeals, contending the trial court did not have subject matter jurisdiction over the matters at issue because the power of attorney was based on Texas law and the actions alleged in the petition were performed in Texas, where he was a resident however, he does not challenge the court's personal jurisdiction over him. He also contends that summary judgment was inappropriate because material facts were in dispute. Finding no error, we affirm.
