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.
