| Issues: |
Appellant's Statement of the Issues: Did the district court err in determining that no banking relationship existed between the Robert F. Living Trust and Western State Bank? Did the district court err as a matter of law in determining that Gifford was acting purusant to a power of attorney when signing checks with the caption Robert F. Fritz, Dale Gifford as Trustee and pledging trust assests to Western State Bank? Did the district court err as a matter of law in determining that Gifford was acting pursuant to a power of attorney when requesting trust fund disbursements from A.G. Edwards? Even assuming that Gifford had been acting as attorney-in-fact, Defendants still would have had no authrotiy to act as they did. Should North Dakota adopt a cause of action for a participation in the breach of trust pursuant to Reinstatement 2nd of Trust, Section 324? | ||||||||||||
