Claire:What are you doing with all those law books?
I thought you retired 20 years ago.
Ray:I'm preparing for my mental competency hearing.
Claire:Mental competency hearing?
But your mind is as sharp as it has ever been.
Ray:That's not what my children think.
They are going to court to prove my diminished capacity.
They are going to argue that I need a conservator for my estate.
Claire:Nobody who knows you would question your sound mind.
There must be another reason for this hearing.
Ray:You're right. My children want to get their hands on my money, and if they can prove mental incapacitation and impaired judgment, they will get power of attorney.
Claire:And if they get power of attorney…
Ray:They would get control of my company and my entire estate.
Claire:So what are you going to do?
Ray:I am going to fight fire with fire. I'm suing them.
Claire:What for?
Ray:Fraud and I can make it stick.
They're both lacking in common sense.
Everybody knows you should never sue an attorney, especially a successful one!
