    (a) Client under a disability:
    (1) When a client's ability to make adequately considered decisions 
in connection with the representation is impaired, whether because of 
minority, mental disability, or for some other reason, the covered 
attorney shall, as far as reasonably possible, maintain a normal 
attorney-client relationship with the client.
    (2) A covered attorney may seek the appointment of a guardian or 
take other protective action with respect to a client only when the 
covered attorney reasonably believes that the client cannot adequately 
act in the client's own interest.
    (b) [Reserved]
