Abstract
Many mental health professionals consult with the terminally ill and provide therapy to the client, spouse, and family. Some clients have been forewarned, and have a carefully drafted estate plan which provides financial peace of mind to the ill party and the survivors. Other individuals are not so aware or sophisticated, and need encouragement to inspire the first call to a lawyer for an estate planning consultation. The counselor can prepare the client for the interview and serve with the lawyer as an interdisciplinary team interfacing with the client to guarantee that the family has both legal problems and emotional needs professionally considered.
