Firm Can Represent Both Executor and Beneficiary of Will
Baker Manock & Jensen v. Superior Court, 175 Cal. App. 4th 1414, 96 Cal. Rptr. 3d 785 (2009)
Brief Summary
A law firm that drafted a will did not have a conflict of interest in later representing both an executor and a beneficiary of that will against another beneficiary because the former two parties had aligned interests and the latter party was not a client.
