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!
