I apologize if this repeats an earlier comment, BUT depending upon
the facts a lawyer may have a DUTY to disclose to the tribunal
his/her court-appointed fiduciary client's breach of fiduciary duty.<br>
<br>
Such a disclosure is PERMITTED by RPC 1.6(b)(8): "(8) may reveal
information relating to the representation of a client to inform a
tribunal about any client’s breach of fiduciary responsibility when
the client is serving as a court appointed fiduciary such as a
guardian, personal representative, or receiver."<br>

<br>
And RPC 3.3(c) REQUIRES disclosure to the tribunal when a lawyer
learns that his/her client has offered/filed material evidence that
was false, if RPC 1.6 permits that disclosure.: "(c) If the lawyer
has offered material evidence and comes to know of its falsity, the
lawyer shall promptly disclose this fact to the tribunal unless such
disclosure is prohibited by Rule 1.6."<br>
<br>
And official comment 13 to RPC 3.3 states, "the obligation to
rectify false evidence or false statements of law and fact
[continues until] the conclusion of the proceeding," including
appeals.<br>
