That’s reason enough to disbar a lawyer. I hope she reported him.

  Unfortunately, the situation sounds right in line with a rich individual engaging a trusted attorney up to be their neutral PoA/executor/trustee (as opposed to one of their heirs). So the attorney would likely make the case that they thought this is what the client wanted. The potential to go south only occurs after death/incapacitation where the attorney can drag out the estate/trust because they're taking administration fees. Please go ahead and report it. I just don't think the interpretation will be so clear cut.
