of July 31, 1996, the date that the LRFLP was established,
decedent was suffering from “full-blown Alzheimer’s”, and
decedent’s daughter knew as much. Also as of that date, Feldman
had never spoken to decedent’s daughter or decedent’s son-in-law
about decedent’s health or about her potential for tort or other
personal liability.
On July 31, 1996, decedent’s children signed a partnership
agreement for the LRFLP (LRFLP agreement). Decedent’s daughter
signed the LRFLP agreement in Illinois in the presence of
Feldman, who notarized her signature. She signed once as a
general partner of the LRFLP in her capacity as trustee of the
Ilene Field Trust and a second time as the limited partner of the
LRFLP in her capacity as cotrustee of the Lillie Investment
Trust. Decedent’s son signed the LRFLP agreement in Florida,
outside Feldman’s presence. Decedent’s son signed the LRFLP
agreement individually as a general partner of the LRFLP and a
second time as the limited partner of the LRFLP in his capacity
as cotrustee of the Lillie Investment Trust. When decedent’s son
signed the LRFLP agreement, he had never met or spoken with
Feldman. Upon signing the LRFLP agreement, decedent’s children
(and Feldman) were unaware of the dollar amount of any partner’s
contribution to the capital of the LRFLP. On either October 11
or 14, 1996, Feldman calculated all of those amounts and attached
that calculation to the LRFLP agreement as “Exhibit A”. On the
