MEMORANDUM OPINION
(August 17, 2004)
Veronica Phillips [“Phillips”, “appellant”] appeals from a June 14, 2000 decision of the Territorial Court denying her request for damages following a bench trial. Phillips asks this Court to review the Territorial Court’s determination that she orally authorized the appellee to spend her insurance proceeds on her behalf. We hold the oral agreement was contemporaneously made with the written power of attorney and, therefore, cannot be offered to modify the authority contained in the writing. Accordingly, the trial court’s determination will be reversed.
