Paula Paralegal's mother called her with the following statement: I'm considering writing a holographic will. Paula responded: Mom, don't do that. Holographic wills are often disregarded by the courts due to technical errors. Paula's response:
 
  A) is not UPL because she was speaking with her mother
  B) is likely UPL because she applied her knowledge of the law to her mother's statement and gave her mother a response
  C) is likely UPL because the law of wills is extremely complicated so discussion about it obviously requires the skill and judgment of a lawyer
  D) is not UPL because her mother did not ask her for legal advice
