Throughout this period of starting to focus on probate administration, and the instruments that go with it (health care proxy, wills, e.g.), there have been other cases within the office.
The variety is what I have enjoyed. A claim against CVS for medication error. Fighting seven (7) lawyers representing a 94-year-old widow who had asbestos-laced fill dropped on her land. A Department of Correction hearing representing the most notorious inmate in State Prison history (according to the DOC). As well as a few divorces that chew you up emotionally almost as bad as it does the participants.
Now, I’d like a ferris wheel. Some going on, some coming off, because in probate administration you know there will be a death, but no one knows for certain when.
I can relate to a life insurance salesman. They have to overcome the human, natural tendency to avoid and procrastinate about things like getting their affairs in order, planning for an inevitability they’d just as soon not think about.
I have a relative who admits to being superstitious in that they’re worried the minute they write a will….they will die. A lot more than you think are like that. Just like the people who can’t go to sleep without the TV on.
I’m hoping Kathy and her recruits can get this message out and spread the seed of the idea that it’s Boy Scouts. Be prepared!
