Attorney Blunders

​​Her daughter lost her house 

Mrs. Smith wanted her daughter to have her house when she died. So, she put her house in her daughter’s name. Three years later, when Mrs. Smith filed for bankruptcy, the bankruptcy trustee sold the property (although it was owned by her daughter) and used the money to pay Mrs. Smith’s creditors. Mrs. Smith's attorney did not know this could happen and did not warn Mrs. Smith.
