How to Designate an Inventory Lawyer — Rule 1-3.8 for Florida Lawyers
Patricia Savitz explains the Florida Bar’s requirement for members to designate an inventory lawyer under Rule 1-3.8.
The Florida Bar’s Rule 1-3.8 requires every member to designate an inventory lawyer. Why? Your clients need to be protected in the event you are suddenly unable to practice law, and your inventory lawyer will contact your clients and ensure the proper handling of their files. To help members understand how this process works, hosts Christine Bilbrey and Karla Eckardt talk with Patricia Savitz about the details of Rule 1-3.8 and how to designate an inventory lawyer through the Florida Bar member portal.
Patricia Savitz is staff counsel for the Lawyer Regulation Department at the Florida Bar.
