(1) Generally. After the effective date of an order transferring an attorney to disability inactive status, the attorney (A) may not engage in any conduct prohibited to a disbarred or suspended attorney under Rule 19-741 (a), and (B) except as provided in subsection (a)(2) of this Rule, must perform the duties required by Rule 19-741 (c).

(2) If Attorney Unable to Comply With Rule 19-741 (c). If, due to the nature or severity of the attorney's incapacity, the attorney is unable to perform the duties required by Rule 19-741 (c) and satisfactory arrangements have not been made for the performance of those duties, Bar Counsel may seek (A) the appointment of a conservator pursuant to Rule 19-734, (B) the appointment of counsel pursuant to Rule 19-739 (h), or (C) both.

Committee note: Because placement of an attorney on inactive status arises only from a finding of incapacity, as defined in Rule 19-701(m), there may be a legitimate question of whether the attorney is competent to fulfill the winding up obligations set forth in Rule 19-741 (c). Unless another attorney capable of performing those duties has agreed to do so, Bar Counsel and the Court should give consideration to whether a conservator may need to be appointed to perform those duties.
