| A lawyer acting as executor or trustee could hire the lawyer's own law firm to represent an estate as long as the co-fiduciaries consented. However, the firm would have to withdraw if the executor/trustee had to be a witness in any later proceedings (unless the testimony involved a matter of formality or an uncontested matter, and would not be rebutted by another party). [Under Rule 3.7(c), this disqualification is not imputed to the lawyer's firm unless there is an actual conflict of interest.] |
