Grizzle v. U.S. Bank, Lawrence App. No. 07CA29, 176 Ohio App.3d 582, 2008-Ohio-3185. Probate court granted summary judgment in favor of estate in claim against a bank that allowed former power of attorney over decedent, who later was appointed and removed as Executor, to withdraw $41,000 in funds from the decedent's bank accounts both pre- and post-death. The court of appeals reversed finding there was a dispute as to whether the withdrawals were made with an apparent authority of the POA/removed executor to act on the decedent/estate's behalf when making the withdrawals.
