Ethics: Diminished Capacity
Like it or not, most trust and estate planning attorneys will eventually find themselves in the middle of a case where the attorney discovers the client may lack capacity or at least suffer some diminished capacity. The Rules of Professional Conduct can be less than enlightening as to what to do in this situation. This session will consider this topic and the alternatives available to the attorney, as well as dealing with the client whom the attorney discovers may have diminished capacity as well as the ethical issues in dealing with a client where the original purpose of the proceeding is a protective proceeding for the client.
