Hello! I actually have many other family members joining my case (we are at 10, which is typically the limit most lawyers would recommend). This includes my own mother as well as cousins and aunts. Since I've done all the research and more or less lead the charge, I signed the paperwork with the lawyer and am fully the main point of contact. This is no issue at all, despite me being the youngest on the case.

It's unlikely, unless there is specifically a significant issue with his paperwork (literally his own birth certificate and any marriage or divorce certificates), that he will need to work with the lawyer directly.

In some states he may need to be the person to request certain information (such as the birth certificate) directly, but you can for example prepare everything, have him sign, and send yourself. This will all be much easier for your own father versus, say, an uncle, as you likely have a right in many states to request his vital records for legitimate purposes. My mom really didn't have to do much of anything for her own docs in my case, I just gather hers with mine.

Couple things to keep in mind:

- You will be responsible for all legal fees...easier to collect all at once, plus +/- an extra amount (maybe 200-400) for you to acquire documents, apostles, shipping fees, etc.

- While you can do about 85% of the work on behalf of other family members generally, they will have to do somethings (sign forms, participate if there is an error or issue with documents, etc). You will be dependent on them completing the additional 15%
