Powers of attorney; conversion; undue influence; breach of fiduciary duty
John Lippert appeals from an order dismissing his complaint for a review and accounting of the actions of his brother, James R. Lippert (Jim), while acting for their father, James G. Lippert (James), under a durable power of attorney (DPOA) nominating Jim as the agent. John’s claims for conversion, undue influence, and breach of fiduciary duty against Jim and his brother Jeffrey Lippert were also dismissed. We affirm the order dismissing John’s action and deny the motion to have the appeal declared frivolous. This opinion will not be published.
