You are so WRONG about every thing you have told this lady. And
apparently you have NO idea what you are talking about. So go away.
Keep your WRONG advice to yourself. And yes, the check is MADE OUT
TO THE DEFENDANT AND THE ATTORNEY. BUT IN THIS CASE, (if this lady
is telling the truth) THEN THE MOTHER WILL SIGN THE CHECK. This lady
said the mother is the CONSERVATOR. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT - kid.
