Form::Model eloquent binding

I'm having problems populating values of my inputs when I have eloquent queries using with(

Controller:

private $viewPath = "pages.person.";

public function edit($id)
{
    $person = Person::where('id', '=', $id)->with('Email', 'Phone', 'User', 'Client', 'JuridicPerson.TypeActivities')->firstOrFail();

    $this->setData('person', $person); // Set information to be used in the creation of `views` and `nest.views`.
    $this->setData('users', User::lists('name', 'id'), ['0' => 'Select…']); // Set information to be used in the creation of `views` and `nest.views`.

    return $this->view($this->viewPath.'edit'); // Register a new view.
}

My views are made in a way that I share the form between my edit and my create. So I have create.blade.php, edit.blade.php and both made a call to form.blade.php this I can not change.

My edit.blade

{{ Form::model($person, array('method' => 'PATCH', 'class' => 'defaultForm', 'route' => array('person.update', $person->id))) }}
    @include('pages.person.form')
{{ Form::close() }}

My form.blade

<!-- This input brings the correct value -->
<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-12">
        {{ Form::input('name', 'name', null, ['class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Nome', 'maxlength' => 35, 'required', 'autofocus']) }}
    </div>
</div>
<!-- This input value is empty -->
<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-12">
        {{ Form::textarea('Client[observation]', null, ['class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Observations']) }}
    </div>
</div>

But if I add this piece of code anywhere in my html, I get the correct value in client...

{{ $person->client }}

Not sure what should I do to fix my code, the data is correct, when I print the data (above code) the inputs output the correct value (but I can't have the the return printed on the screen for the user).

What I need is to print the correct value into the correct input.

Use client rather than Client when loading that relationship.

When you did {{ $person->client }} it had the side effect of loading that client relationship so it could be used.

When loading relationships, you should use the name of the function, exactly, that's responsible for setting up those relationships.
