<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hi Jeff,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">I am like you and, in almost all situations, don’t allow kids into the meeting. We have a these “Why Am I Left In the Waiting Room?” brochures from the ABA in a brochure holder in the lobby: <a href="https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/administrative/law_aging/2020-elderlaw-ethics-brochure.pdf" originalsrc="https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/administrative/law_aging/2020-elderlaw-ethics-brochure.pdf" shash="IG1NVRko0pdPGEEsB7N8HX4BD6NLc5qVEnw7V3ynT7dzkhTUYPnQdhcB5sStTUVbKJffBldB32sHQPFkV8GZCyXJr2m3oRhyxwq+4/2N0jjJtp4Jq6QfbmRgdxHPmyQflJksffLYsrqzkLf5NZLpuix+bwtCNYi4aEwof6V7nlw=">https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/administrative/law_aging/2020-elderlaw-ethics-brochure.pdf</a>
The brochure has been really helpful.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Listmates: This is just a Friday afternoon rant. More and more children try to tell me how to draft their parent’s Will. I never allow children, or anyone else, into my meeting with the parent(s), no matter how insistent the child
is, or even the parent is in wanting the child in the meeting. Have you experienced this, and if so, what do you do. If a parent is not able to tell me what they want, I won’t prepare anything. Clearly not competent to sign. Just had some children rant
about the mom’s will as being all wrong and not what they wanted her to do. Apparently one of the children set up a “family trust” and wanted mom to leave everything to it. Yikes, talk about undue influence.
