Ind. Decisions - Not everyone is happy with our Supreme Court's unauthorized practice decision
The Supreme Court decision April 14, 2010 in the case of State ex Rel. Indiana State Bar Association v. United Financial Systems Corporation, et al. (ILB summary here) is the subject of a long press release by United Financial Systems, headed "Supreme Court Ruling Reduces Options, Raises Costs For Indiana Residents." It begins:
Nonlawyer professionals now have extra cause to hesitate before, or avoid, helping their clients obtain legal services to address estate planning needs. That’s because, by doing so, they may be charged with practicing law without a license, according to a recent decision by Indiana’s highest court. The decision, supposedly designed to protect the state’s consumers, actually reduces their choices for estate planning, and increases the cost of these services.
