Likewise, the whole scene involves Saul informing Ted that he's unexpectedly received an inheritance from the estate of a great aunt he never heard of. As ''Better Call Saul'' shows, Jimmy originally worked in elder law before he transitioned to criminal law, and would still have some knowledge of estate law.
