You're going to need to really fund legal aid if you want successions opened and seen through to fruition with no expense to the heirs/ legatees.
There's a reason I hated black heirships when I was doing title work. fricking nightmare tracking down 100s of kids and grandkids etc

When will Hillar Moore and AG Jeff Landry step up to the plate and charge these criminals. I guess they are racists because this is just black on black crime.

I don't know the bylaws of the elder clinic, but my understanding is it provided limited services in simply writing the wills, not probating them and opening the sucessions.
I'm telling you probating the will and seeing the succession through is a much, much more complicated process than simply writing the will and I'd be surprised if the clinic was chartered to see the successions through to JOPs.
If you can show me something different then I'll gladly eat crow, but I'm familiar with volunteer lawyer services and legal aid in my area and there is a limited scope of represenatation because of the complexity of some issues that arise in certain areas of the law.

It's just shady as shite.
"Hey I'll do your will for free...but I'm still going to take $115k from you."
If a CPA doing pro bono 1040ez filings ends up needing to amend the return, charging the client for the amended return is just wrong.

Lawyers know it's not binding, but most non-lawyers probably would not and would think they have to seek out this specific attorney to execute the will, so that can be misleading and I think presents the quasi-ethical implications the professor in the article was talking about.
This exactly what I was thinking.

She looks like a virtuous woman.

There's nothing wrong with an attorney serving as executor if they can competently perform the duties and the client requests it. It doesn't happen every day, though. Most clients have family members or close friends they will nominate. Serving as executor for a high % of the will you draft is definitely fishy
It's especially sleazy when you initiate those wills as a public servant. I'm shocked there hasn't been an investigation started with the state ethics board due to the clear disregard for conflicts of interest

Not only is she a public servant, but she is a professor for the Law Clinic. This is the class where law students get practical experience. She is teaching quasi unethical drafting of wills in an educational setting.

THis is all a bunch of overblown bullshite. People acting like $500 a month is a lot of money. Nobody in the right mind would put up with dealing with all those heirs begging for money everyday for $500.00 a month

I relish in her peril for three reasons.
#1 - she's a lawyer. A person who is supposed to uphold the law.
#2 - she's black
#3 - she's a female
The reason for my giddiness - this just proves that not all injustices come from the hands of "old white men". White collar crime is now indiscriminate. Actually it has always been but we only heard one side.

Now we know why SULC had to be sued to get the public information on one of their "highly unethical but technically not illegal" scams run out of that front for elder abuse. Better Cal Saul could learn from her and her ilk.
