trust attorney allowed to represent executor?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? AZ
AZ can attorney for our trust who is there to work on behalf of heirs represent executor? If taken to court can executor use or hire our trust attorney? He would no longer be able to talk to heirs.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? :confused:

Let's clarify a few things...

An executor administers a probate estate. A trustee administers a trust.

Is the "executor" that you mention actually the trustee of the trust you mention?

There is no "attorney for our trust." Someone hired the attorney. And the trustee is the only one who would have the authority to hire the attorney. Therefore, the attorney's client is the trustee. And, if the trustee is involved in some legal action pertaining to the trust, then the attorney represents the trustee.

If the situation is different, you need to supply further explanation.

I certainly hope that Lois/here/there knows what the heck she is talking about. Otherwise there might be nary a sole.

Besides, the AZ lawyer that is “there” is only there looking to make an honest buck! And she ought to be thankful that there is but one there. They are often known to emerge in swarms.
