Powers of Attorney
The existence of a health care power of attorney does not, by itself, raise a presumption of undue influence in the execution of a deed naming the agent under the health care power of attorney as a joint tenant in the deed. Although a health care power of attorney may create a fiduciary relationship between the power's principal and agent, the scope of that relationship is limited solely to matters involving the principal's health care. (APPLETON and TURNER, concurring.)
