Rule 14.1 Notice to Clients in Which LLLT Is Providing Services; Providing Property Belonging to Clients in Which LLLT Is Providing Services

(a) Providing Clients’ Property. An LLLT who has been suspended, revoked, or transferred to disability inactive status must provide each client to a transaction in which the LLLT is providing services with the client’s assets, files, and other documents in the LLLT’s possession.

(b) Notice If Suspended for 60 Days or Less. An LLLT who has been suspended for 60 days or less under rule 13.3 must within 10 days of the effective date of the suspension:

(1) notify every client to a transaction in which the LLLT is providing services of the suspension, the reason therefor, and the LLLT’s consequent inability to act as an LLLT after the effective date of the suspension, and advise each of these clients to seek prompt substitution of another LLLT; and

(2) notify the LLLT’s employer and all others seeking to employ the LLLT of the suspension, the reason therefor, and consequent inability to act during the suspension.

(c) Notice If Otherwise Suspended or Revoked. An LLLT whose license has been revoked, or suspended for more than 60 days as a disciplinary sanction, suspended for nonpayment of fees or under Title 7 or APR 28 must within 10 days of the effective date of the revocation or suspension notify every client to a transaction in which the LLLT is providing services of the LLLT’s inability to act as the LLLT for the transaction and the reason therefor, and advise the client to seek LLLT services elsewhere.

(d) Notice If Transferred to Disability Inactive Status. An LLLT transferred to disability inactive status, or their guardian if one has been appointed, must give all notices required by section (c), except that the notices need not refer to disability.
