Day One: We are helping the Pro Bono Project track down attorneys and clients who may have been displaced by the hurricane. In particular, we are hoping to find out the status of estate succession cases, for these clients are the ones most likely to be immediately affected by the storm. If a person has inherited property, then she can't get FEMA assistance to help repair or rebuild the property until there has been a judgment or an executor appointed. We worked on dozens of open succession cases today, calling attorneys and clients, in many cases getting disconnected phone numbers, and googling anyone we couldn't find by phone. It's startling the number of clients who may be unable to get FEMA assistance because their succession cases haven't been closed yet.
