OPINION BY Justice LAWRENCE L. KOONTZ, JR.
This is an interlocutory appeal, taken pursuant to Code § 8.01-670(B)(2), from an order entered in a chancery case in which an executrix of a certain will sought the aid and direction of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach regarding the distribution of an estate. The sole issue is whether the circuit court erred in finding that an attorney-in-fact had the authority, by the durable power of attorney under which he acted, to change the beneficiary of a particular certificate of deposit belonging to his principal.
