Feb 20, 2014 /prREACH/ -- “On Time” host Gigi Barnett interviewed Baltimore City Orphans' Court Associate Judge Lewyn Scott Garrett along with Chief Judge Joyce Baylor-Thompson about the need to have a last will and testament. During the interview the Judges squash some of the misnomers about what the Orphans Court does.

They also shared a shocking statistic that as many as 50% of the City’s residents die without a will, which is why they want to educate the public on the importance of having a will and planning an estate.

In the 2 part interview, Judge Garrett also shared an example of one of the worse cases that came before him and how the court dealt with it.
