Ashley Bravo and Helen Bravo, as Next Friend on Behalf of Ashley Bravo, Appellants v. Shelby Aker and Fred Aker…

Summary

The court held that the superior court erred by allowing counsel to withdraw without first determining whether Ashley Bravo was competent and, if not, appointing a guardian ad litem or taking other protective action. Because Ashley was left without counsel or a proper representative, the court also erred by ruling on summary judgment and awarding fees and costs against her. The withdrawal and summary-judgment orders were reversed, the fee and cost award was vacated, and the case was remanded. No separate opinions were issued.
