What is the name of your state? Delaware
All, This is somewhat long story, which I will pickup
later, but I want to get a read on the basic ethics.
An estate is represented by an lawyer which is also named
in the will. The lawyer is has no family relation. Also named
are several members of the lawyers family. Relegated to
a very minor inheritence is the deceased only daughter.
The lawyers and his family takes most of the estate.
Important point, the will was changed several months
before the death, when most of the assets were assigned
to the lawyer and family. Cause of death, brain cancer.
Is there an ethical issue with this or am I missing something ?
