[WSBAPT] Attorney Lien for Beneficiary of an Estate

[Marcus Fry]

Never run into this before.  Attorney represents a beneficiary (not PR) in an estate probate proceeding.  Attorney withdraws, but files a Notice of Attorneys' Claim of Lien.  Can an attorney do this?  I understand that the claim of lien applies to money in the hands of a 3rd party, just haven't seen it before.

Thank you,
