Speaker Q&A
Question
I may have missed this, however, could you tell me in a probate proceeding where you have 2 beneficiaries who are joint executors of a will. If one of the beneficiaries tells the attorney for the will that he does not want the attorney to do any work on the case, what is the attorney's obligation to continue with the proceeding.

Answer
I did not cover specially probate and executors in any of my courses, that I recall.
Here you would have a potential conflict of interest that would need to be reviewed and resolved. This is hard to give a definitive response because it depends on if decisions have to be made unanimously or other factors.
Thanks,
Cari
