The legal ethics opinion number 1473 states The committee has previously opinioned that an attorney engaged to
represent an estate enjoys an attorney/client relationship with
the personal representative since that individual "assumes the
legal status as the agent of the decedent and is the only
available conduit of information between the entity and the
attorney". LEO #l452. In the facts you present, wherein three
individuals serve as co-Executors of an estate and an attorney
has represented the estate, the committee is of the opinion that
the attorney/client relationship on behalf of the estate exists
simultaneously with each of the co-Executors. The committee is
of the further opinion that the fact that each Executor has
separate independent counsel does not alter the conclusion that
the client(s) is not the estate, but the three Executors.
