<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Listmates: Waaaay out of my wheel house. Recently remarried elderly client meets with me to change his estate planning. He wants to provide for his new wife (not everything,
just a portion of his estate). Adult children from a previous marriage (and trust babies) from CA have called the local Adult Protective Services and APS want to talk to my client (APS left a business card on my client’s front door last night). Trust babies
have an attorney in CA who argues to me that some documents are forged and that my client is senile and that the new wife is taking advantage of my client. I personally feel the client is competent. My initial reaction is for the client to meet with APS
and answer whatever questions APS has. APS will probably want to interview my client without the new spouse in the room. Should I be in the room?
