[WSBAPT] pr as creditor

[Ryan Castle]

I posted about this last week asking the same question and got one
response. The responder advised to get separate counsel, with the logic
that when you represent the PR you are representing the Estate and the PR’s
responsibilities to the estate beneficiaries.  You have a conflict if you
represent a beneficiary or a creditor. I have not seen any ethics opinions
or case law on this after a search of both.
