Maryland Probate Administration -- Ethical Concerns

Previously published by NBI

There is no statute or opinion in Maryland that specifically either permits or prohibits attorneys to be paid from anyone¿s non-probate assets for legal work done to assist a personal representative in his/her administration of the probate estate (with or without written consent of interested parties). Many attorneys reasonably just assume that this is so because the right to enter into contracts is lawful unless made unlawful by statute or case law.
