SJC Rule 1.4
All your probate and planning questions answered in 60 minutes or less! Grab
your coffee and join the Massachusetts Bar Association’s Probate Law Section
Council for short, focused lessons in the world of probate law and estate
planning practice.
Join Judge George Phelan of the Probate and Family Court for a discussion of the challenges
to estate planners who serve clients of limited English proficiency and
complying with Supreme Judicial Court Rule of Professional Conduct 1.4:
"Communication."
The influx of immigrants as well as disciplinary rulings and ethics opinions
from multiple jurisdictions highlight the importance of reasonable communication
by attorneys, including: use of interpreters, translators and real-time
interpreting devices. Even attorney cultural capacity on a client-by-client
basis might be scrutinized.
