This is 1 of 3 plants that I need help with. I've inherited these from a friend of mine that passed away.As the pictures show, they have been neglected. I think they will survive with a little TLC. Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry I can't ID your friends plant, but I know someone here will. I think that your best bet is to water the plant and put it in a spot with bright light, but not direct sun. If that doesn't revive it, I would cut it back by half or so, and feed with a half strength fertilizer, like Miracle Grow, and see if you spot any new growth in a couple weeks. I'm sure it will bounce back before long. With a little TLC, most plants will.

Looks like a Bauhinia of some sort, but without blooms I don't know if you can be certain which one.
