Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Did the Montana Supreme Court overlook a violation of First and Fourteenth Amendment rights, specifically concerning free speech, petition to redress grievances, adversary rights, privacy, by penalizing private discussions between two domestic partners in their home under the guise of "Unauthorized Practice of Law" (UPL)?

2. Did the Montana Supreme Court err in precluding the issues it had previously declined to review and disregarding constitutional issues regarding loopholes in Montana precedent law, whereby the utilization of PR's authority could close the beneficiaries' access to other courts to redress former fiduciaries' breaches, when the probate court lacks jurisdiction?
