The benefactor of the estate hired an attorney to contest the will and then never followed up with the lawyer, causeing the lawyer to incur unpaid fees. Now the lawyer is attempting to bill the estate.

Should the attorney go after the benefactor for the fees?
Will I, the executor, be responsible to pay the lawyer?
