Description
Elsie Gomez filed suit against Maricopa County on behalf of herself and her two minor children for the wrongful death of Victor Gomez, her husband and the children's father. The issue presented is whether a release agreement, signed by relatives of Victor to whom Elsie had given a power of attorney to settle her and the children's claims, bars this action. We hold that the release bars Elsie's individual action. We further hold that the release does not bar the action on behalf of the minor children because no court approved the settlement or appointed and authorized a guardian to settle the children's claims.
