FACTS: D helped get Schwager to be appointed as guardian for Lillian Styer. The estate
was worth $1.3 million at that time. Lillian was old and could not manager her affairs.
Schwager converted the assets of the estate and was eventually removed and replaced with P.
P sued D for negligently failing to discover the misappropriation and conversion. D moved
for summary judgment and it was denied. This appeal resulted.
