Q: Dear Ethics Lawyer, I have represented an individual entrepreneur in various business matters for the past 20 years. She has always been capable, with clear ability to receive and apply my advice and quickly make what I have believed to be logical and rational decisions. Lately, however, I have noticed a change. Her ability to process our conversations seems slower and more labored. I often have to repeat things I’ve already said, and sometimes she doesn’t seem to remember details of prior conversations. She is less confident in her decision-making, asking me what I would do in certain situations that in the past she would have quickly reasoned through herself. I try to deflect making decisions for her, and for now just talk her through the situations until she reaches what seems like a rational and appropriate decision. But, I’m not a health care professional and lack the ability to assess what’s going on with her or how serious it is. What are my duties here?
