MY HEART BREAKS FOR A CLIENT THAT NEEDS HELP, BUT IS PROHIBITED FROM PURSUING THE LEGAL SYSTEM DUE TO THE COSTS INVOLVED…ALL PEOPLE DESERVE HELP TO GET INTO THE LEGAL SYSTEM. IT IS ALWAYS A SAD CASE WHEN A FAMILY MEMBER HAS DIED AND LEFT THEIR HEIRS WITH LEGAL ISSUES. THE CLIENT IS GRIEVING; UNABLE TO COMPREHEND WHAT STEPS THEY NEED TO TAKE; AND MAY NEED ASSISTANCE TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILY. THE SAME IS TRUE FOR A LEGAL GUARDIANSHIP WHERE AN ELDERLY FAMILY MEMBER CAN NO LONGER MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS, BUT NOTHING IS IN PLACE TO ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO ACT FOR THEM. HOW CAN I SAY NO TO THEM? I CAN’T. – SHIRLEY DERKE, ESQ.
