Great, thanks, Leigh!  I'm going to forward this as well as the previous one I received.  I appreciate the help; I seem to be dealing with AZ clients a lot lately.

Hi Candance,

This is not a personal recommendation but this referral came from the Oregon list in 2019 and I saved it because it was a glowing recommendation, copied below:

"One of the best referral connections I have made was at the most recent WAELA CLE this fall - it is Leigh Bernstein.  She and her partner are in Tucson and are amazing, responsive, and reasonable. They are my first call for anyone in Arizona."

Email is Leigh at rubinbernsteinlaw.com<mailto:Leigh at rubinbernsteinlaw.com>

Listmates,

I am representing an Arizona resident in a WA probate case as an estate beneficiary, and he recently had a stroke and is in a rehabilitation center in Tucson.   He already has a power of attorney for health care, but still needs to execute one for his financial matters so his bills can be paid.

I understand from his niece (also a client of mine), that he is probably competent to sign the POA.  Most likely, a doctor would have to make that decision.  I need to refer them to an attorney who can assist with the process if my client is competent to sign, and to commence a guardianship if not.

All referrals will be forwarded.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Best,
Candace Wilkerson
