In the rare instances I have done this I have had the client sign off on a letter where I explain in detail the other options, that fees will be charged if I am appointed and serve with an emphasis on confirming reasons why the client has made this decision.

I have been asked before, and I always said no because it sounded like a conflict of interest.  However, I never researched it, so I’d be interested in hearing from someone else as well.

Listmates,

Client has a question as to whether an attorney may be listed as the alternate personal representative in her will.  I’ve never run into this question.  Off the top of my head, I don’t see a problem with it.  Is there a prohibition I’m not aware of?

Thanks in advance,
