| A wife is injured in a car accident in which her husband is killed. A lawyer represents her in suing the husband's estate for negligence, and the case is settled. One year later, the wife (now administratrix of her husband's estate) sues a third party, claiming that it negligently caused the accident. The lawyer's current representation of the wife against the third party does not violate the Code because the wife "is in a position to waive any conflict both as administratrix of the estate and on her own behalf." |
