Somebody has to be a lawyer at that table, and that lawyer’s name is on the paperwork, and the name on the bottom of my parents’ deed was Gerald J.

Lipinski, of Quincy.

I found him in about nine minutes.

He was eighty-one.

He had retired in 2016.

He had a listed telephone number and he picked it up on the fourth ring and said “Lipinski” as though he still had a practice.

I explained who I was.

I said the date.
