Sandy Glastor (Paralegal) has joined his family for Thanksgiving. Sandy's grandfather asks a general question (to everyone sitting at the table) about writing a holographic will on letterhead stationery. (Does the printed part of the stationery invalidate the will because the will is not written entirely in the testator's handwriting.) Sandy takes Grandfather's question as a hypothetical and
responds to it along with everyone else at the table throwing in their opinions. Later that night, Grandfather rewrites his holographic will on a blank piece of paper based on Sandy's reply to the question. Which of the following is true?
A) Sandy is not guilty of UPL because he gave his answer as generic advice, not specific advice.
B) Sandy is guilty of UPL because he applied his knowledge of the law to a legal question and gave an answer.
C) Sandy is not guilty of UPL because he did not know anyone would rely on what he said.
D) Sandy is guilty of UPL because Grandfather took Sandy's words as legal advice.
