When a client's capacity to make adequately considered decisions in connection with a representation is diminished, whether because of minority, mental impairment, or for some other reason, the lawyer shall, as far as reasonably possible, maintain a normal lawyer-client relationship with the client.When the lawyer reasonably believes that the client has diminished capacity and is at risk of substantial physical, financial, or other harm unless action is taken and cannot adequately act in the client's own interest, the lawyer may take reasonably necessary protective action. This includes consulting with individuals or entities that have the ability to protect the client and, in appropriate cases, seeking the appointment of a guardian.
