1Opinion of the Court
HARTNETT, Justice.
In this appeal, we affirm the Court of Chancery’s decision, after trial, that imposed a constructive trust and awarded restitution as to certain property of Anna M. Dever. The Court of Chancery found that the evidence was not sufficient to show that Ms. Dever intended that the durable power of attorney she executed authorized Irma Schock, the named attorney-in-fact, to make gratuitous transfers of Ms. Dever’s property to Irma and her family. We hold that Irma breached her fiduciary duty of loyalty and AFFIRM.
