OPINION 63-11

proceeding by a subsequently appointed guardian.

Chairman Holcomb stated the opinion of the committee:
A member of The Florida Bar inquires whether he may represent a client in restoration of
competency proceedings where he had previously represented her in a personal injury action, but
had been replaced by counsel selected by a subsequently appointed guardian. We see no
objection to him so representing the client.
