“"It is always within the power of a litigant to discharge an attorney who neglects or refuses to act and replace him with another counselor. `Circumstances beyond the control of the litigant', as pertains to the issue at hand, contemplates events making it impossible for the litigant to act in his own behalf such as service in the armed forces making it impossible for the litigant to be present. Zatarain v. Portera, La.App., 63 So.2d 477 . A similar circumstance, in our view, would be confinement to a mental institution."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““A simulated transaction is one declared to be feigned or pretended. It has, in effect, no existence. It is a sham inasmuch as the true intent of the parties is that no transfer take place but rather that title remain in the purported vendor because no consideration whatsoever was in fact paid. Succession of Webre, 247 La. 461 , 172 So.2d 285 .” [ 224 So.2d 1, 5 ]”
