A transactional attorney regularly advises closely-held corporations on tax and corporate issues. An acquaintance asked the atto

rney if they could meet to discuss a legal matter. The attorney agreed. During their 30-minute conversation, the acquaintance told the attorney that a relative had died and named the acquaintance the executor of the relatives estate. The acquaintance asked the attorney to represent him. The attorney advised the acquaintance that the attorney did not have experience and was too busy to do the work necessary to become competent. The attorney offered to refer acquaintance to another lawyer who regularly practiced in the field and advised the acquaintance that he should see another lawyer promptly because there might be deadlines he should follow as the executor. The acquaintance did not contact another lawyer until eight months after meeting with the attorney. At that time, the acquaintance learned that his method of interacting with the estates creditors had created a complicated, expensive situation for the estate, including a significant amount of money in legal fees to reverse the errors. If the acquaintance had received legal advice, the acquaintance would not have committed these expensive errors. Is the attorney subject to civil liability.

Answer:

The Acquiantance is the one at fault in the issue not the attorney in the deceased case(estate)

Explanation: The attorney advised the acquaintance that the attorney did not have experience and was too busy to do the work necessary to become competent. The attorney offered to refer acquaintance to another lawyer who regularly practiced in the field and advised the acquaintance that he should see another lawyer promptly because there might be deadlines he should follow as the executor. The acquaintance did not contact another lawyer until eight months after meeting with the attorney.  So the attorney is not subject to any civil liability.

Georgia’s governor wants to host the Olympics in Atlanta. Which type of temporary committee would he most likely create to study
dexar [7]

The answer to the question is ad-hoc committees.

This is because the committee is created only for the purpose of studying whether it is feasible to hold the Olympics in Atlanta and what preparations and the underlying budgets needed for the event to be realized.

Joint committees refer to committees where the members’ compositions originate from at least two different organizations.

In the U.S., standing committees refers to permanent members of a legislative panel created by the Senate and House of Representatives.

Conference committees, on the other hand, refers to a committee created in the U.S. congress to settle disagreements on a certain legislature.
