Paralegal James is doing the final packing away of the files and creating an index for them as he puts the final touches on closing the latest probate case. It was an especially interesting case because the heir to whom the testator left 99% of his worldly possession died shortly after the testator. That resulted in allof Testator's worth being passed to Heir's son. Anyway, it was an interesting

case. Now that the case is closed and Heir (the client) is dead, James is looking forward to writing an article about the case. As Heir was particularly flamboyant, James is thinking: Best Seller! As James' friend, you

A) should tell him that he can write about the case if he has permission from the client or the client's heirs to release confidential information he gained while working on the case.
B) should tell him that he can't write about the case even though it is closed and even though the original client is dead.
C) should tell him that he can write about the case now that the case is closed.
D) should tell him that he can write about the case now that the client is dead.
