Navigation Florida lawyers must designate an inventory attorney — here’s how
What happens when a lawyer suddenly becomes unable or unwilling to practice law? Catastrophic illness or injury, or absence due to required military service could halt a lawyer from practicing while legal matters are ongoing. Normally, the attorney’s law firm or partner handles the situation. But what happens when such resources are unavailable?
To protect your clients’ interests and your practice, the Florida Supreme Court adopted Rule 1-3.8 Right to Inventory, requiring Florida Bar members to designate an inventory attorney, another Bar member who volunteers to close out legal matters impacted by a “subject” lawyer’s incapacity.
To designate your inventory attorney now, log in to the member portal at FloridaBar.org.
